Penici|Iin Aids Graft
Of Skin on Burns
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Four Detroit
doctors say that use of penicillin
apparently solves one of the princi-
pal problems in early skin grating
on burned areas.
Reporting today in the Journal Of
the American Medical Association,
Drs. John Winslow Hirshfield. Mat
thew A. Pilling, Charles Wesley
Bugs and william e. Abbott said
experience with II patients con-
WINGED them that use of penicillin
not only permits early grating, but
also apparently prevents loss Of skin
from infection that ordinarily
occurs.
Nineteen split thickness gratis
were performed on the II patients,
to whom penicillin was given by
intramuscular injection generally
starting about II hours before oper-
alton and continuing until the time
Of the first dressing.
The doctors said that with one
exception from 80 to 100 per cent
of the transplanted skin took, the
exception being an unco-operative
alcoholic on whom 80 per cent OF
the gratis took.
Before penicillin was availab le,"
they said, I'VE performed over q
hundred gratis in patients with
third-degree burns. Although many
excellent takes were obtained, In
about one third of the cases IS per
cent or more of the graft was lost
because of the occurrence OF infec-
ton. Therefore the consistency with
which excellent takes were obtained
in this series of 10 CRAFTS has been
very impressive to u.s."
They added that few patients are
more miserable than those with
large unhealed third-degree burns.
Early skin grating of the burned
areas is the/only means of quickly
returning these patients to a useful

Local Concern Buys
Battlefield Scrap

The Maryland Pife and Metals
Company has purchased from the
U. S. Government, through its Sal
ttge Segregation Center at Fred
erick, Md, about fifty carloads Of
airplane salvage, shipped to this
country from the battlefields
abroad.
Mr.. Kerstein, of the Maryland
Pipe & Metals Co, in releasing the
story to The Globe-Independent,
stated that his company would first
segregate and process the salvage,
after which it will be shipped TO
various foundries throughout the
country, to be refined into new
metal that will, in turn, be used in
making new war equipment that
could very well land back on the
same battlefield from which the
salvage was taken.
Some of the salvage is already in
the company's yards and more is
coming in daily.
