Tuberculosis
Still UncOnquered

srreStIng the progress Of the
disease IN these animals.
SINCE 1914. Doctors Horton
~ c. Hlnshaw and w II. Field
man of the Mayo Clinic have
used Strcptomycin in treating
81 patients who had tubercu-
loslS. At first only small doses
of the preparation were en-
ployed because not much was
known about II.
Later. after its properties
were more accurately deter
mined, larger doses were
administered and more encour-
aging results obtained.
Streptomycin rarely causes
any serious reaction even when
given in large doses. and con-
tinuously administered for sew
eral weeks There is usually
some pain at the point where II
is injected repeatedly. but the
pain is no more severe than that
produced by penicillin.
OFTEN, there IS "A moderate
" rise in the patients tenn
perature, but this is not re-
garded as being of serious
Importance. Now that more puri-
fled preparations are available,
these reactions are less severe

From the "a patients studied

not seem that the drug is rap
