= many persons will be seeking
ways OF preventing attacks of

found for keeping persons free
from these conditions.
However. a study made by
Doctor Alvin p. Coburn, Of

seem 10 indicate that the use
of sulfadiazine may be helpful,
particularly when large ~oups
of people are gathered to-
gether. He gave the sulfadia-

suit Of this method, the monthly

Gently a rancher though he had
