Tests by three Washington ply
sicians OH children have proved
penicillin is more effective in COM
batting pneumonia, meningitis and
congenital gonorrhea than the sulfa
drugs, it was learned today.
Results of the tests are to be pub

Journal of the American Medical
Association.
The three physicians were Drs. F.
G. Burke, P. A. McClendon and Sid
ney Ross, on the staffs of Children's
Hospital and George Washington
University Medical School. Fhan-
cial expenses of the work were borne
by the medical school.
On two children with pneumonia
the doctors noted improvement in
their conditions within to II hours
after administering penicillin orally
The doctors estimated that cures
were effected in approximately half
the time required by sulfa drugs.
In another test, 10 children with
congenital gonerrhea were treated
with penicillin, and 1t was found that
cures were effected in third less
time. Two other children were treat
ed with penicillin for cellulitis. but
in this instance no precise conclu-
sions were drawn as to the degree
of speeded recovery over other
methods of treatment.
DR.. Burke explained the penicillin
was administered in powder form
