treatments. Penicillin, given in
ternally. had failed. This was be-
cause In the blood the penicillin
does not get higher than a certain
concentration, and this concentra-
ton was not strong enough to kill
some kinds of germs, which are
highly resistant to penicillin.
But in the red blood mixture, the
military surgeons placed a much
stronger concentration of penicillin.
In most cases only one application
Qf this mixture had to be used.
Col. Jansey said no bad effects
of any sort had been reported.
Hemoglobin, an ingredient of hu-
man tissue, has naturally stimu-
lating effect on tissue growth.
In the hemoglobin the penicillin
is released slowly. Pure penicillin
did not have the same good effect in
wounds, both because it was alb
sorbed too rapidly and because 1t
was irritating to the wounds.

Like the golfer who tells you he missed long putt; When it probably was less than a yard; I can now understand why the boys with the hooks, Just juggle the truth, but quite hard.

Te had perfect game in the offing until the eighth in ming when he walked one Toronto batter an danother was on an error. Neither advanced and those were the onyy two who got on base.
 The slim six-foot, l65-pounder from Fresno, Cal, didn't get much notoriety out of his first no-hitter which he won also by a to 0 score on April 30 because he chose to pitch 1t on the same day that Bobby Teller of Cleveland was pitching a no-hit, no-run game against the Yankees at New York.
 Harrist started the season with i the Reds but was sent down for further seasoning
