OBTAIN PENCILLIN
FOR LOCAL WOMAN
"WOnder Drug" to Be Used
in Experimental Case at
Waterbury Hospital

Within q week, Waterbury hos
pital is expected to be the scene OF
the first treatment of patient in
which the new wonder drug"-pen-
icillin-created from certain types Of
mould-laden substances will be used.
1t will be given by injection into the
left leg of Mrs. Emma Hill Of Pros
pect, sufferer from osteomyehtis
of the bone for the past 20 years.
DR.. Elliott Mayo will perform the
operation.
The novelty of the test Jes in the
fact that, Heretofore, penicillin has
been used in the treatment of open
wounds, and, in that respect, has
had better and quicker results than
certain "sulfa" drugs. But, in this
case, it will be used to cure a joint
disease, previously treated in similar
cases, simply by putting the arm
or leg in a cast and allowing 1t to
stiffen.
DR.. Mayo was very hopeful of an
excellent result from the injection
of penicillin into a bone joint, as a
similar case, treated in a Boston
hospital brought a report of cured"
when surgery and sulfa drugs had
failed. incidentally, use of penicillin,
through the mouth has not been
successful, DR.. Mayo said, which is
why it must be given by injection
to get the best results, with muscle
of the body to be injected every
three hours after the original in
lection Of the drug into the bone
joint, until a change is noted.
Because its use in the treatment
of bone diseases has been rare
to date, DIR. Mayo was able to secure
agreement of DR.. Chester Keefer OF
Boston, to send about 1000 units
of penicillin to Waterbury. DR..
Keefer Is the government represent
alive whose word is final In regard
to release of the drug, especially for
civilian use.
