They can § be taken in pill form and can be § made cheaply and quickly. & The first patients treated with the two new “miracle” drugs were in Seaview Hospital, which|} is part of the New York City s.. hospital system. 3 Many patients who had failed to respond to any kind of treat- y ment and were marked as hope-| less cases have so far been saved from death, j a The new drugs are known as _ 3 NS marsilid and rimifon.
