The Fight Against Pneumonia.
Pneumonia, which since time immemorial has been one of man's most vicious killers, has been brought largely under control in the Iast decade with the advent of increasing potent antibiotics. Recent American insurance company statistics show that in 1950, out of a population of 150,000,000 only 40,000 persons died of pneumonia in the. United States. This is contrasted with 1925, when over 105,000 died out of a population of 110,000,000. Beginning with penicillin and culminating with the powerful antibiotic auremycin, the fight against pneumonia has been so succesfsful that fatalities may be pushed to the zero miark in tlie near future.
