NEW TREATMENT
OF VENEREAL DISEASE. AMERICAN HEALTH SERVICE REPORT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) WASHINGTON, April 6. Surgeon-General Parran, of the United States Health Service, announced today that, for the first time in medical history, a five-days cure for gonorrhea had been perfected and proved in large-scale tests. Dr Parran says sulfathiazole is capable of curing at least 80 per cent of all gonorrhea infections and that many of the remaining 20 per cent can be cured by another course of treatment with the same drug and special methods. The five-day remedy is now being recommended for routine use by the medical profession.
