THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES,

PENICILLIN BEN BY CAPSULE METHOD]

NEW; YORK, Feb. 168 (U. P).—|

. Raymond L. Libby, biochemist, = today a method had been perfected to administer’ pentcillin|. through the digestive system. “Lihby ‘discovered the method in experiments for the American Cyanamid Co. when he sought a way to get around the necessity of injections into the muscle or vein. Since penicillin is. quickly destroyed. by st ch acids, Libby solved the probleln by suspending it in cottonseed oil and then sealing it in a gelatin capsule. This, Libby explained, permits the drug to pass to the intestines without being broken down. Once in the intestines it is absorbed directly into the blood. Fats are not digested in the stomach and "the cottonseed oil gives penicillin full protection until it can come in direct contact with the { bloodstream. It is expected that in many cases the sometimes painful injection method can be supplanted by the

capsule method.
