Star Stan Correspondent.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June o.
The first basic explanation of the
action of sulfanilamide in the blood
stream against the germs of more
than a score of human diseases was
offered to the American Association
lor the Advancement of Science here
today by Drs. Ralph S. Mellon and
LaWrance E. Shinn of the Western
pennsylvania State Hospital at
Pittsburgh.
The mlcro-organisms responsible
Tor disease as far apart as menin-
gifts and gonorrhea have in COM
mon the same mechanism for
breathing oxygen, they explained.
before they can make use of the
oxygen in the air or the blood, the
bacteria must first combine it in the
form of hydrogen peroxide. From
this substance they obtain their
oxygen for breathing by freeing 1t
from the water which is part of the
peroxide molecule.
This separation can be accom-
plished only by means of one of the
engines, catalase. The experiments
reported by the two doctors show
that sulfanilamide inactivates or
poisons the engine, so that the
bacteria cannot get oxygen to
breathe. Consequently, they are
stunted and weakened so that the
leucocytes, the scavengers of the
blood stream, are able to devour
them.
The hydrogen peroxide accumu-
lates In the bodies of the micro
organisms. 1t is one of their own
waste products and poisonous to
them. While it does not kill them
by itself, it further weakens them
against the attacks of protecting
white blood cells. They are made
to stew in their own juice said
DR.. Mellon.
1t can be shown, they said, that
every disease due to an organism
which breathes by first forming
hydrogen peroxide is benefited by
sulfanilamide. 1t has no effect
against those organisms which
breathe in another way-such as
the staphylococci which are response
BILE for boils and some forms of
pneumonia and meningitis.
The experiments reported today
give the first rational basis for
the extension of sulfanilamide treat
ment to other diseases. Hitherto
it has been largely a hit-or- miss
affair. Physicians have used sui
fanilamide and the closely related
sulfapyridine in hit-or-miss fashion
against all sorts of germ-caused
diseases and have been surprised
at their own success without under
| standing the basic mechanisms at
work.
The remedy can now be extended
