TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA & ALLIED DISEASES USE OF SULPHANILAMIDE DRUGS REMARKABLE RESULTS REPORTED By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 9.25 a.m.) LONDON, June 17. The ‘'Lancet” publishes an account of a remarkably successful treatment of pneumonia, including the case of an old woman whose left lung had collapsed, with a recent sulphonamide derivative called “Mayand Baker, 693.” “There is no doubt that the treatment provides a new weapon of the greatest effectiveness,” says “The Times.” A distinguished bacteriologist states that it is too good to be true. We can scarcely allow ourselves to believe that diseases of such a desperate character as severe pneumonia, streptococcal meningitis and puerperal fever can now be cured with the sulpbanilamide group of drugs."
