DRUG HELPS BOY WIN LIFE FIGHT
Streptomycin Doses: Cheat Tuberculous ‘Meningitis.
By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Editor NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J, Nov. 25 Two-year-old Ronald Muscle will have to learn how to pronounce streptomycin when he gets a little older—because he's going to hear a lot about it. Streptomycin, one of the most powerful drugs to be developed during the war, enabled Ronald to win a battle with tuberculous meningitis, usually a fatal disease in infants. His recovery is one of the few cases to be reported and may be the first such recovery with no bad after effects. Ronald was striken last January and one physician administered penicillin and sulfadiazine. There was no apparent result. As the boys’ condition became worse, another physician, Dr. Louis

BETTER INSULIN TYPE IS SOUGHT
Outlook for Diabetes Patients Improves.
By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (U. P).— The’ outlook for the person with diabetes is better today than ever before and scientists in medical research are predicting even further strides In combating this disease now suffered by 1,000,000 Americans, The hope is that a new type of insulin, one that will serve all need, may be found. Since development of the present insulin, however, the death rate from ‘diabetes has steadily decreased. One striking example is the George F. Baker clinic in Boston. There, according to insurance company statistics, the death rate among diabetic patients dropped 95 per cent at ages under 40; about two-thirds in the middle aged, and about one-half in the older grgups. “It would be an ideal situation

Mr. Botts went to Warm Springs one day in 1925 and for six weeks bunked with Mr. Roosevelt in a cottage near the famous old Meriwether inn—then a fashionable resort. Soon a score of polio victims were attracted here and formed a small colony and Mr. Roosevelt became their informal doctor. He directed exercises at the public pool where they swam, made a muscle chart for them to study and. prescribed diets. Roosevelt Was ‘Tireless’ Mr. Roosevelt would tell his patients that Mr. Botts was his first patient and that he had to watch him closely.
