The second discovery came when Dr. Fred Loe, Indian service physician on the Rosebud Res- ervation who had been treating trachoma in Indians for morc than twenty years, began experi- menting with internal doses ot sulfanilamide. He took two of his most hopeless Indian patients, who had been treated for three years without showing improve- ment, for his first trial of the About eight years ago the l“'drug The eyes of the two began dian bureau, faced with the ap- palling task of curing half of the 70,000 victims of trachoma i1z the United States, instituted a cam- paign of research and experimen- tation in the disease. Some means must be found, they held, to cure the 35,000 Incians who had the disease -in one form or another, and who were blind, or near blind, as a.result. Dr. Phillips Thygesson, of Columbia Univers- ity; the late Dr. F. L. Proctor, and Dr. Polk Richards, director in charge of trachoma activities for the Indian Bureau, conducted ex- periments to prove the disease was caused by a virus. Physicians had previously considered the dis- ease a “bacillus granulosis”. Up to that time treatments rlnged from surgery, which Scarred the tissue and left the t'yes permanenuy damaged, to applications of harsh &lrfluthz drugs which some- to clear up after five days with daily administration of sulfanila- mide. In a month they were dis- charged from the hospital. In 1938 Dr. Loe's preliminary report of the treatment of 200 trachomatous Indians with sul- fanilamide was printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He stated that the average sulfanilamide treatment ps | required only about two weeks, and that the eyes began clearing up within 24 hours after the first dose. A careful check of his patients covering a six-months period revealed that In no case did the disease recur.

Such ancient seats of clyilization| as Palestine, Greece, Syria, Iran,' Iraq, Egypt, Thailand and French Indo-China have probably known trachoma the longest time. Tra- dition has brought its story down from pre-Biblical days. Many modern countries, includ- ing the United States, consider trachoma sufficent grounds for denying an immigrant entry, U. S. immigration authorites, in fact, rank trachoma with tuberculosis. Hence the discovery of sulfanila- mide treatment and cure is of vital importance to hundreds of thousands throughout the world,! and particularly valuable in suchl countries as have had troops re- turning from the infected nrels’ in the Near East, where the m' ease is rife.
