Penicillin Aid search on Syphilis Ni Prophy ic Doses of ‘Wonder Drug’ Halt Development of Disease in Rabbits

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer BALTIMDRE, April 14.—Penicillin may be the long-sought “magic

it ‘bullet” which not only cures syphilis but prevents the disease. It works

in rabbits and probably will work in man. Discovery that penicillin may become a prophylactic against syphilis "was made by Drs. Harry Eagle, Harold J. Magnuson and Ralph Fleischman of the U, S. public health service, the Johns Hopkins school of "hygiene here and the University of , North Carolina.

Johnson, now at the U. 8. army medical nutrition laboratory, Chicago, and Robert M, Kark at the Harvard fatigue labo= ratory here, In the desert with the temperas ture 92 degrees Fahrenheit soldiers each ate 3100 calories daily on the average.
