Maryland U. Finds
Rabbit Fever Cure
BY the Associoted Press

| DETROIT, Dec. 30.-A possible
one-week cure of tularemia (rab-
bit fever) by use of the drug
chloromycetin was reported today
by Parke, Davis & Co.
The pharmaceutical firm said a
group of physicians from the Uni
versity of Maryland School of
Medicine in Baltimore used the
drug to cure six cases of tularemia,
averaging only ~ days of treat
ment.
Ordinarily the disease, acquired
from rabbits and other wild ami
mails, has caused illness lasting
several weeks or months. About
one in 20 cases were fatal, Parke,
Davis said.
With use of the new antibiotic,
however, temperatures of tested
patients dropped to normal after
an average of 1.6 days of treat
ment, the pharmaceutical firm re-
ported.
Parke, Davis identified the ply
sicians conducting the experiment
as DR.. r. T. Parker, r. E. Bauer,
H. E. Hall and T. E. Wood and
L. M. Lister, a medical student.
