Advantage Of the Injection
Method to Administer Druos

where the solution was injected in
any Of the cases.
VI the "a patients treated BY DR..
CHASER, 10 had various signs of
pneumonia verified by X-ray pic.
lures. Eleven had severe sore
throat, tonsillitis or ear infections.
or a combination Of these dis.
orders. OF the % patients, 10 re-
celved the one injection as their
only sulfonamide treatment dur
ing their entire illness and they
recovered rapidly. Fever was ..
duced and the number of white
blood cells returned to normal
rapidly.
In five patients the treatment
with the sulfonamids drugs by
mouth or by injection was con.
tinued for various reasons. II
would appear that this method of
treatment has advantages for
caring for patients in their homes.
In these days when all hospitals
are so over-taxed, il is not always
possible to hospitalize patients
who need sulfonsmide treatment.
Or even IL it is, the patient who
can get we'll at homo with the one
dose injection method 10 still
saved expense and inconvenience.
1t goes without saying, OF
course, that this treatment should
only be given by q doctor or under
hi direction, because only q doe
tor can decide whether this par.
ticular method 10 likely to be
successful In any given case. II 10

patients who need . regular

By HERMAN n. BUNDEsEE, ND.

TO-DAY no one doubts the great
value Of sulfonamids drugs in
overcoming serious infections.
That has been proved beyond any
doubt, but, none the less, doctors
are still trying to widen the field
Of usefulness for these curative
and life-ssving PREPARATIONS.
There are, OF course, . number
OF sulfonamids drugs, each Of
which has its own uses. Then too.
the way in which = drug is used
often has an important relation to
its effectiveness. These are mat
ter for the physician to de-
termine.
An Effective Drug
According to DR.. Kurt Glassr OF
Chicago, for instance, q drug
known as sodium sulfadiazins can
be very effective when given by
injection under the skin. or
course. II can also b taken By
mouth, but DR.. Chaser feels that

Hearing Set tuesday
To Reconsider Home
Building Craft Wage

A hearing requested by District
home builders and contractors to
permit reconsideration of a new
wage scale for certain construction
workers, which was approved by the
Wage Adjustment Board Feb
ruary 81, has been granted by the
board and set for 10 am. Tuesday
10 room 4311, Labor Department
Fourteenth and Constitution avenue
NV, Arthur D. Hill, jr., board
chairman, announced today.
The boards decision requires
home builders to pay wages in ef-
feet October 3, 1942-the so-called
"B" scale-or a higher wage scale
amounting substantially to the "A''
scale in effect during the war for
commercial and Government build
ing.
Home builders recently protested
the boards requirement that they
pay either one or the other scales,
insisting they should have the right
to pay "up to- the "a" scale but
should not be obliged to pay this
cSoiS iA1 SooC lllCy SOulu OUldul
workmen at lesser wage.
The "a" scale is generally higher,
but there is no fixed percentage
differential, Mr.. Hill said.
The boards function is to stabilize
wages in the construction industry
to prevent imitation and maintain
orderly conditions between manage
me1lt and labor, the board chairman
said.
In the construction industry. he
pointed out, the custom has been to
"agree on single rate for each
craft classification"
Explaining the order which up-
held this custom, Mr.. Hill said the
board In the past had felt single
rate was desirable because it pre-
vents contractors from bidding
against one another for employees
and pirating labor from one an
other
Over the four-year period during
which the board has been in ex-
istence, Mr.. Hill pointed out, it has
never authorized rate ranges" He
explained that rate ranges" was
the induStry's terminology for a
situation under which varying rates
could be paid.
