Harrington Fair
FEATURE CYCLE STUNTS

Final preparations have been
made for the opening of the Kent
Sussex fair at Harrington next

Chitwood Auto DaredeviIs featur-
ing the opening days program
with their death-defying automo-
bile and motorcycle thrill show
Monday night, starting at 8
o'clock. The famous Cherokee In
dian race track star and daredevil,
three times winner of the national
AAA dirt track championship, will
perform in a number of the sensa-
tional events, being assisted by
troupe of stars from all sections of

ing wheel a twist and send his car
whirling end-over-end and side
oversize, hoping to arise from the

rampway, catapulting his machine
high through space to hurdle a
large truck and trailer, crashing

gan making it in large quantities.
Merck spent about $3,000,000 in
building a plant in which to pro-
duce it.
Even the growers Of mushrooms
went into the business of growing
the spores from which it could be
obtained
The soil microbe Antinomyces
(griseus) is difficult to grow, but
not quite as difficult as the mould
which produces penicillin It may
be grown either in big tanks or in
glass bottles where the microbes
feed on a shallow layer of nutrient
broth. The broth that feeds the
microbes has as its basic constitu-
ents beef extract, sugar, mineral
salts.
i AS streptomycin grows it drops
its drugs into the liquid. AS it
drops its drug in the liquid, it is
(. extracted by laborious chemical
processes. Fifty gallons of the
broth must be processed to provide
enough drug to treat typhoid pa
tient for a single day. Hence you
can see that it must be expensive.
While streptomycin seems to
have a large range of usefulness,
there is still much to be learned
about it. 1t has failed in many
cases in which it has been tried
and has caused unpleasant sypm-
toms in Others
Bacteria seems to develop resis-
tance very rapidly to streptomycin
This makes it necessary to obtain a
concentration of the drug in the
system as rapidly as possible, other
wise the disease will not respond to
streptomycin.
Skin eruptions sometimes appear
as a result Of streptomycin. If
this occurs the drug should be
stopped at once.
While toxic symptoms have in
some cases developed, they have not
proved serious or lasting. Below
is list or untoward reactions that
have appeared in some cases.
! l. Pain and tenderness at local
site Of injection. g. Headache. 3.
Fever. 4. Skin eruptions. 5. Rapid
heart beat and fall in blood pres
sure. 6. Vertigo, ringing in the
ears and head, accompanied by
deafness. 7. Want of feeling in
the face. 8. Flushing of the skin.
If patients take streptomycin as
long as three weeks, practically all
of them develop vertigo and diz-
zlness. Afterwards, symptoms grad
ually disappear.
Much experimentation is going.
, on at the present time in regard to
streptomycin. AS time goes on,
much valuable information will be
acquired by the medical profession
in regard to the uses and limita-
tions of streptomycin. Many errors
will be avoided and many lives will
be saved by its use. Thus medicine
marches on.
