so prevents its functioning as
microbe killer.
Often doctors find that an infec-
ton is caused by mixed organisms,
some of them of the type that man.
ufactures penicillinase and some of
them susceptible TO penicillin. These
bacteria, as well as penieillin-fast bac-
terra, sometimes are responsible for
failures of the drug.
While penicillin is not toxic to
man, as sulfa drugs frequently are,
1t is pointed out that the person who
doses himself indiScriminately with
the drug may be causing himself un.
told harm by delaying the right kind
of treatment.
Only certain diseases respond to
penicillin. So far viruseS, such as
those that cause influenza and the
common cold are unaffected. Gram
negative bacilli-among them those
causing typhoid, dysentery, and un-
dulant fever, don't respond to penicil-
lin treatment tuberculosis, infantile
paralysis and malariS>> are immune
TO its germ-killing power.
No matter how handy penicillin
may become, Sir Alexander expresses
the sincere hope that responsible per
sons will think twice before they treat
themselves without supervision.

you must invest in Bonds each month
to get back the income you want when
you retire.
OF course, your retirement fund will
last only 10 years il you just cash in
your Bonds at your chosen date and
don't buy any new ones. At that time,
YOU may decide to cash in only 50
per cent Of your holdings and re-
invest the other half, if you want to
make your fund last longer.
The secret to the whole plan is the
way interest accumulates. A $3.75 in
vestment in Bonds each week, for in
stance, grows into $l95 in a year; into
$1,O4 in five years; into 81, 163 in 10
years A $3.50 weekly saving mounts to
$500 in IL months; to 5000 in five
wears; to $4, ,329 in 10 years And as you
reinvest the larger sums. the return rolls
up into eye-stopping totals.
Bonds Always Mean Cash
THIS Victory Loan will be the last of
the big public Bond drives. After it's
over, even though the Treasury may
mail you a Bond-buying notice from
time to time or print few reminder
posters, there'll be no more nationwide
appeals to inspire you into saving. What
YOU do with the Bonds you already own
or with yoair new savings will be en-
tirely up to you. You'll always be able
to cash in your Bonds at 100 cents on
the dollar. And you'll always be able to
spend your earnings as you wish.
But personally. I'm selfish. like the
idea that with Social Security benefits
and Bonds. can be independent when
I'm old. l like the thought that I'm
working toward that goal every month.
And I'll wager you like the prospect
too. The End
