~ the Associotsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.--
Doctors at Pennsylvania Hospital

sciences newest wonder" drugs
-neomycin-has been given to
humans for the first time.
Two male patients suffering
from urinary tract infections were
administered the drug. the hos

fected after six days.
Neomycim is a drug-brother OF
a streptomycin. Both are made
from the same material-a soil
fungus.
Treatment of the two patients
was supervised by DR.. Garfield G.
Duncan, director of the Division
of Medicine at Pennsylvania Hos
pital.
Never Tried on Humans.
1.-THE drug had never been given
to humans before" DR.. Duncan
said. 1T was administered sue
cessfully only on experimental
animals. We weren't sure, and
still aren't, whether 1t would have
harmful toxic effects on humans"
The two patients. both reported
near death, agreed to risk pos
sible after-affects on the chance
the drug might work.
The drug was developed by DR..
Selman Waksman, Ukrainian-
born intercollegiate who previous
ly discovered streptomycin in ex-
periments at Rutgers University.
DR.. Waksman was assisted by HUI
bert Lechevalier.
May Help Fight tuberculosis.
DR.. Duncan and his associates
said they have high hopes that
neomycin may prove effective in
fighting tuberculosis.
He said experiments with ami
mails ''have been every effective
against tuberculosis.
DR.. Duncan said he couldn't dis
tinguish any visual difference be-
tween neomycin and streptomy-
Gin. Both drugs look exactly the
same.
1.-The difference. actually. is in
the method of extraction from the
soil microbe known as stropto-
myces fradiae," DR.. Duncan said.
The two patients who under
went successful neomycin treat
ment were Ralph Pitzer, 47-year-
old fruit grower of Biglersville,

 All agreed they were for it or found no objections.

 Vernon M Metcalfe, independent candidate for council in approving of the plan, said:
 Any building built in a city is good for the city. I'll go all out for the Territorial Building any time"
 B. F. Mcdowell, candidate for city council on "The Peoples Ticket" declined to make a stand on the issue.
 He said: "If am elected, I will use my best judgment on any pro1- lem which comes before the coun- cil."
 Alfred Zenger Sr, candidate for council on the same ticket, said: The Territorial Building should be here"
 He also declared he is very much concerned with the Gold Creek problem.
 The Territorial Building plan is backed by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 In speaking to the Chamber, Metcalfe also said he was in favor of condemning, under city code, buildings which are fire hazards. He also said that, if elected, he would put forward a long-range plan for city recreation facilities for children. | Letters from the Sitka Chamber of Commerce and the Sitka Fish Exchange asked Juneau Chamber of Commerce help in opposing the proposed split halibut season.
