Petrillo demands the right TO

BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

ONE scientific discovery slim
" ulates the imagination OF
the world to others along the
same line.
When I was a medical stu
dent there was not single drug
for which il could be claimed
that. taken inside the body, II
killed a germ or bacterlum OF
disease.
There were drugs for animal
parasites, such as quinine for
malaria, and ipecac for amebic
dysente.y. but these did not
strictly come within the dcfini-
ton OF bacteria
Jlst about the time I was
graduated, salvarsan. or 600,
wa introduced. and later the
genius of Paul de Kruif gave 1t
the name of the magic bullet.
because il was a bullet that
killed only the harmful germ of
disease and did not lnjure the
tissues OF the host in which the
germ was Embedded.
Still COO was also directed
against ar m a ! parasite
kether than a bacterlum.
THEN we all remember the
Il excitement of the sulfa
drugs about 10 years ago.
They did affect bacteria, not
animal parasites.
Their particular affinity OF
virulence was against the strep-
tococci group including the
pneumococci so their use was,
and largely still is, limited 10
pneumonia and blood poisoning.
Then came penicillin.
One thought at the time OF
the announcement of the good
effects that there was hardly
any place for penicillin.
The sul-a drugs seemed TO be
doing such a good job.
At first il was announced that
renicillin was valuable only
against the staphylocci groups
those which cause boils and
carbuncles and localized pustu-
lar infections. but of late il has
been found that IL is valuable
against wide range of infec-
tons.
