ington, Oct. 13—Diabetes, the disease that ranks with cancer in fatality and incurability is about to be conquered by medical science, if ‘success continues to attend the use of -a pancreatic extract, called insulin, developed at the University of Toronto Medical school during the last

year.”

That report was brought to the newspaper reading public by The Times Science Service. It heralded what ‘has since been called the first powerful weapon against a major chronic disease of middle and later life.

Smallpox had been conquered cen-

turies ago by vaccination. Diphtheria had been conquered by anti-

same chemical it secreted. They had prepared extracts of .pancreas material but the extracts, failed to help diabetic patients. Young Dr. Banting’s idea was that these ex-

By Science Service CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Streptomysin may have “tremendous value as a stopgap measure” in treatment of | tuberculosis. It may be five years] before its real place in treatment of this disease is fully known. More studies of streptomycin for tuberculosis are “urgently needed.”

This verdict comes from the National Research Council's committee on therapeutics and other agents, This is the committee, headed by Dr. Chester S. Keefer, Boston, which has been supervising clinical studies of streptomycin and which last week reported results in other diseases. The final report appears in the| forthcoming issue of the Journal of the American Medical association here. Streptomycin is not a cure for tuberculosis, the report makes clear. It is considered a palliative.
