New Methods of
Giving Penicillin
Discovered
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ. D

% NINA -AaN we - ~ 'A~-'f "a o.
WHENEVER a new method Of
treatment is discovered and found
to be worthwhile, efforts follow 70
make the treatment simpler and
more effective.
This has happened in the case
Of the woodworking drug, pen
ieillin. When penieillin was first
employed, in practically all in
stances it was used by injection
into a vein. A method known as
continuous drip was employed,
which means that a solution con-
tanning the penicillin was allowed
70 flow into a vein slowly over a
period Of % hours or longer. Then,
later on, the drug was given by in
lection into a vein every three or
four hours, day and night Still
later, it was used by injecting it
into the muscle, but such injections
also had to be given at frequent
intervals
Shrinking Blood Vessels
Recently, Doctor William NJ.
Parkins and his co-workers Of the
UNIVERSITY Of Pennsylvania have
been using penicillin mixed with
gelatin and q drug like ephedrine,
which has the effect Of shrinking
the blood vessels. When this mix
ture is used, the penicillin is more
slowly absorbed OF taken up by the
body, remains in the blood for q
longer period of time, and the
number Of injections may be cut
from eight a day TO three q day.
OF course, the continuous intra-
venous drip method is still widely
used.
Patients may take penieillin by
swallowing it in the form Of q pill
or gelatin capsule instead Of by
injections. Recently a mixture of
penicillin with cotton seed oil put
into gelatin capsules, has been de-
veloped. The gelatin capsule pro-
tects the penicillin from the acid
of the stomach. The stomach acid
rapidly destroys penicillin. When
the capsule of the penicillin gets
into the intestine, it breaks open
and the drug is absorbed into the
blood from the small intestine.
There are also waters containing
penicillin for treating sore throat
and tonsillitis.

Capsule Method

Tests not only with animals, but
also with human patients, showed
the method Of giving the pen
icillin in capsules is effective in
keeping q sufficient amount Of the
drug in the blood for action
against infections which may be
present in the body.
II is true that more penicilhn
must be employed when it is given
in this way, but since it is more
easily administered and a less
highly refined product is needed,
this new method may entirely sup
plant the injection form of treat
ment in the future. Of course, with
the capsules, it is necessary to de-
termine its exact effectiveness, but
it would appear that it will not be
long before penicillin may be used

zion through the mouth.

The problem is very easy to see: The

compete with the higher paying jobs in Of

cos in this war has stemmed not from any
general body of public, but from special
groups like the American Legion. Since they
are so vocal, and since there has existed no
data by reference to which their claims could
be evaluated, these groups have succeeded in
parading their minority views as general pub
lie opinion
DR.. Crespi stated also that it would be a
mistake for Selective Service, the agency IN

its treatment of COS by what it thought public
opinion to be- ITO the extent that co policies
are based upon what the public will accept,
this public opinion must be ascertained
through concrete studies like the present one !"
he said.
According to the survey, three-quarters OF
the public think that the government should
provide wages, dependency allotments and ac-
cident compensation to drafted COS who are
sent to work camps for the duration OF the
war. Yet none of these are now provided, he
pointed out
Regarding the public's approval or disap-
proval of COS as an abstract idea, the over
all national average was minus 52.6 degrees
(moderate to strong disapprovaD on a scale
ranging from 100 degrees, extreme approval,
to minus 100 degrees, extreme disapproval. OF
the total 1871 per cent approved of COS, i. e.,

Teachers Salaries

If North Cardinals public schools are to
maintain their high standards, the salaries Of
the teachers must be raised.
This is an obvious fact and it is heartening
to all friends Of education that measures pro-
viding for pay increases have been intro
duced in the legislature. There are many ar
guments for raises but the greatest is that
the low salaries are so unattractive that fewer
and fewer young mer and women are enter
ing the teaching field each year.
This year only 400 North Carolina college
graduates entered the profession, a replace
ment of only two per cent. The 1914 teacher

RooSeVeIt'S Address

In dedicating his fourth term to victory and
lasting peace, President Roosevelt voiced the
spirit of America today: he not only spoke
for himself but for the millions who have a
stake in this great war.
His brief simple. sincere inaugural address
was one of the greatest OF his career Fully
in keeping with the times, it gives new conf
dence in his Leadership to the nation
AS has been his IL, on each of his inaugu-
ratons. he faces great problems. And as in
the past he came through with theme of
confidence that should strengthen the whole
people for the many more difficult days ahead.
Let's review those other dark days when
he took the oath of office.
In 1888 the nation was in economic panic,
the worst in its history. In his inauguration
address, he said: This great nation will en-
dure the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself :.
In 1887, the Presidents words revived the
nations confidence in itself, but millions were
still unemployed Mr.. Roosevelt said: THE
test of our progress is =. whether we pro-
vide enough for those who have too little If
our nation, we 3. will carry on
In 194l, most of the great nations were at
war, and this country was conscriptng its
youth arming The President proclaimed
that tdemocracy is not dying and added,
1--WE muster the spirit of America, and the
faith Of America. We do not retreat
Saturday, he said. 'In the days and years
that are to come we shall work for just and
durable peace as today we work and fight
for total victory in war"
Today our problems. are greater than ever
before but again President Roosevelt has
sounded a call that must be answered, must
be kept clear in our minds every day of the
coming four years. He leads but he alone
cannot achieve victory and lasting world
peace. We must do our part.

Conscientious Directors

Even with mounting casualty lists after
three years Of war, the nation is still tolerant
Of it's conscientious DIRECTORS.
This was revealed recently by the National
Service Board for Religious Directors in max
ing public the results of a series Of public
opinion surveys on the subject conducted by
DR.. Leo P. Crespi Of Princeton Universty's
Psychology department and DR.. Hadley Can
tril, director of the Office of Public Opinion
Research
The studies showed, DR.. Crespi said that
while there in general strong disagree
ment with the conscientious objector point of
view, less than half indicated that they would
be unwilling to have CO as friend Less
than twothirds said they would be unwilling
to have co marry into the family posi-
ton defined as complete tolerance.
At the same time. the public demonstrated
that it was not aware Of it's general tolerance
toward COS. When asked what they thought
the national reaction to be, most individuals
guessed it would be complete social ostracism
Almost everyone Sueried believed that he was
far more tolerant than the general level.
On specific question relating to a single
CO. for example two-thirds of the public felt
that Lew Ayres mad lessened any future popu.

obiector stand. Yet only 30.5 per cent said they
