POTENT DRUG
DISCOVERED IN AMERICA. VALUE IN TREATING SORES & WOUNDS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 6. Amazing results in the healing of sores and wounds with a new drug discovered in a soil named Gramacidin are reported to the College of Surgeons. The potency of the drug, which was literally unearthed in 1939 by Dr. Rene Duboise, of the Rockfeller Institute, is reported to have LOGO to 100,000 times greater effectiveness than sulphanilamide. One-millionth of a teaspoonful is sufficient to protect a mouse from 10,000 fatal doses of pneumonia germs. The British have asked permission to try the drug on war wounded. ~ ~
