Gramicidins
New Substance
10 Kill Germs
By HERMAN NJ. BUNUEsEN, NJ. D

10 hAll NNl MS
By HERMAN NJ. BUNUEsEN, NJ. D
GRAMICIDIN S is a new sub
stance capable Of killing many
disease-producing erms.When APP
piled 70 wounds locally, not only
is it harmless, but it even stlmu-
lates healing. 1t is used in per
cent alcoholic solution and is stable
for at least two years and per-
haps indefinitely. This means that
il does not lose its power, even
though stored for this length OF
time, 1t can also be made up into
an ointment diluted with castor
oil. It dissolves in oil easily.
II would appear that gramieidin
s has the power TO lessen pain,
which increases its value IN the
treatment Of wounds. Doctor T. u.
Sergiev of England treated 500
patients with gunshot wounds,
burns, assesses and other infee-
tons. The solution Of gramicidin
S was applied daily for four or
five days and at the end Of this
time It was found that the germs
had disappeared from the infected
wound. Thereafter the gramicidin
ointment was used sometimes
every two or three days.
Good Response
Many patients who had an in
lection for from four to six months
responded well TO the gramicidin
s treatment. and we're healed in
twenty to thirty days. In those pa
tients in whom a skin graft was
necessary because Of large burn,
the wound surface was washed
freely with the watery solution OF
the gramicidin S before and after
the skin gratis were made, and
the results were always favorable
There is a serious infection Of
the bone marrow known as osteo-
myelitis. Patients with this condi-
ton were also treated with grant,
cidin S solution. In these patients,
the solution was applied daily,
and it was noted that the infection
cleared up rapidly, the tempera-
ture dropped 10 normal and heal
ing followed.
Skin Infections
The preparation has also been
employed in caring for skin infec-
tions, particularly the one known
as impetigo. This is a catching dis
order which frequently occurs in
epidemics in newborn nurseries.
An alcoholic solution of the grant,
cidin S was employed and the aver
age period Of recovery in these
patients was only q little more
than four days.
Gramicidin S is obtained from a
type of germ which grows in soil
or dirt In making the preparation,
the germs are grown on a culture
medium containing yeast and glu-
cose, which is sugar. 1t is not
difficult to produce this substance
1t is probable that as time
passes, even more uses will be
found for gramicidin s, but at
present it constitutes a great con-
tribution to the treatment of GER
tain infections. d.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
W. p: Is there Just one type Of
angina pectoris?
Answer: There is only one kind
of angina pectoris. A condition
known as pseudo-angina, which Is
due to nervousness and Is not q
serious disorder, produces similar
symptoms.
