Schonwald, ST, Seattle physician
who achieved world renown for his
wartime discovery Of a penicillin
substitute, died here Saturday after
six years of semi-invalidism.

Mrs. Schonwald, his widow and
fellow research worker, said.
DR.. Schonwald developed his
penicillin substitute, which he
termed F-substance, in 1943 and
announced in November of that
year that 1t had been made avail
able for civilian use. Penicillin then
was being produced in limited
quantity, all of which was diverted
to the armed forces.
His substitute was made by using
the spore Of fungi found in the air.
DR.. Schonwald began his 43-year
medical career in 1904 with his
graduation from the University OF
Vienna medical school. He came to
Seattle in 1921, leaving Vienna,
where he was chief of the medical
staff Of large santiorium.
