BY the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-Another
triumph for the new drug chloro-
mycetin-this time against tick
transmitted Rocky Mountain spot
ted fever-was claimed yesterday.
A team of researchers reported In
the Annals of Internal Medicine
that the drug-derived from a mould
found in the soil of Venezuela-had
proved effective against Is cases OF
the disease.
They said it checked the fever in
about two days, on the average,
whereas untreated cases regularly
have fever for 16 days unless death
occurs.
They said the drug, which ap-
pears to have no harmful side ef-
fects, stopped fever faster, required
smaller dosages, and thus was
easier to administer to patients than
para -aminobenzoic acid (paba) }
which requires a little over three
days, on the average, to check the
fever. There has been some evi-
dence, they declared, of toxicity
from its use.
Authors of the report are Drs.
Maurice c. Pinoffs, Ernest G. Guy,
Leonard Lister and Theodore E.

Maryland School Of Medicine and
