Speaking in Philadelphia recently, Dr. Chester S. Keefer of Bosten, civilian allocator of the new curative drug penicillin, predicts that the drug will prove ex- tremely useful for treating victims of syphilis, a disease for which there has been no effective remedy to date other than arsenic. Dr. Keefer said early results of experiments along this line “are extremely promising.” In addition, he pointed out, another new benefit of penicillin is a great shortening of illness, both acute and chronic. An example was given where among 100 men treated for injuries the saving of working time was equal to many years. Pain in the treatment of the 100 men was almost wholly prevented by penicillin | { treatment;-in sh'up contrast to another 100 injured | gress as * | who have been busy on Capitol Hil | lobbying against Rights” veterans. the fiv ers are sent to Con- bservers.” persons whose wounds without penicillin were quite painful. Dr. Keefer said the uses of the drug now are well defined. It is the best remedy for gonococcus, meningococcus, and staphylococcus, and good for some of the streptococci and pneumonococci, It is good for tetanus, gas gangrene, diphtheria, some of the pneumonias and the large series of infections caused by the other germs named But it is not useful for flu, typhoid and para- typhoid fevers, tuiaremia, bubonic plague, cholera, whooping cough and tuberculosis, nor ‘any well known virus diseases. When the germs it ordinarily kills get into the heart valves, penicillin loses most of its curative powers bffed.nc \ld thsh\ngton Post) Some of the tremendous power which has sent the Germans reeling back all along the Eastern Front has been supplied by the United States. There is no doubt that “Russian valor and generalship,” as Prime Minister Churchill put it, have constituted the “great- est cause of Hitler’s undoing” thus far in the war. The decisive human element which has accounted for Soviet successes has been all Russia. But it is heart- ening to know that we contributed some of the material which made these successes possible. And this time our help was neither too little nor too late. Close to 10 million tons of supplies have been shipped to the Soviet Union under lend-lease from this country since October, 1941, according to the latest figures issued by Foreign Economic Admin- istrator Leo Crowley. They have included staggering ’quanutkes of motor vehicles to meet the difficult problem of supplying the fast-moving Red army- more than 190,000 trucks, 36,000 jeeps and almost 30,000 other military motor carriers. Most of the ,Sovlet planes are produced in Russian factories, but we have managed to supplement their air strength with more than 8800 American fighters and bombers. Their mechanized forces have been strengthened by | some 5200 tanks and tank destroyers made in | America. | We can take pride, too, in having contributed foodstuffs to a people whose principal granary had been ravaged by the enemy. We have sent the Rus-! | sians over 800,000 tons of wheat flour. And among | \O!h(‘r types of fats and oils so indispensable to | soldiers fighting through the snow and ice of a Rus- sian winter, we have sent some 51,000 tons of our | butter. .
