Magic Germ Killer
Was Discovered by
! Fortunate Accident
BY AL JEDLICKA
Released by Western Newspaper Union.


1t is back in 1929.
Prof. Alexander Fleming of
London discovers that mold
growing in a contc iner which he
is using in research has killed
certain germs. Although Pro-
fessor Fleming does not enter
into thorough investigation of
the phenomenon, he takes the
time to make a note of it, sug-
gesting that maybe the mold
could destroy germs in human
infections.
Other English scientists 60 to work
on the mold and in 1910 find it ef-
fective in human treatment. Penicil-
lin, the magic drug, has been dis
covered, and like so many great
other discoveries, by chance.
Penicillin is not the greatest nor
the final discovery in medicine, but
it is the latest and among the most
effective, momentarily climaxing
medicines long, steady march for
ward on the path of alleviating
mans pain.
Sought by king and commoner
alike, penicillin has proven its USE
fulness in the treatment of strepto-
coccus pyogenes, germ that causes
pus and promotes diseases like sep
tic sore throat, childbed fever and
erysipelas; of staphylococcus au-
reus, another pus-forming germ
found in boils and in infections of
the bone; of the pneumonia and diph-
liberia germs; of the organisms
that cause gonorrhea, gas gangrene,
meningitis and syphilis.
In Chicago's modern Museum of
Science and Industry at the foot of
Lake Michigan in Jackson Park, DR..
Milan Novak, head OF the depart
ment of bacteriology and public
health of University of Illinois col
lege of medicine, has established a
public exhibit demonstrating the
processes in the present produc-
tion of penicillin.
The penicillin exhibit is Just one
of many in the museums medical
section, which is under direction Of
DR.. E. ]. Carey, dean of the Mar
quette university medical school,
Milwaukee, Wis. In this section, we
are given graphic picture of mans
gradual development of curative
remedies from the early uses of
vegetable and mineral substances.
Seven Benefactors.
One exhibit pictures seven great
men and their works which have
given mankind boundless relief from
its physical illnesses:
Karl Wilhelm Scheele (l742-'86),
who discovered chlorine, the constit-
uent of common compounds like
salt; tartaric acids, which make
fruits taste sour; manganese, the
metallic element necessary for plant
development, and oxygen, the most
universal of all elements.

Until Synthetic Method Is Devised, Production
Of Penicillin Will Remain Slow and Costly

Brought doubly into the limelight
by frequent dramatic uses of the
drug, penicillin has been made avail
able in cases where the patient
would respond to it, DR.. Austin E.
Smith, secretary of the council on
pharmacy and chemistry of the
American Medical association, said.
Because of it's comparative scar
city, DR.. Smith stated, unlimited
use of penicillin has not been per-
mitted, and in cases where other
