STILL MORE USE FOR SULPHANILAMIDE
FITHE use of sulphanilamide to treat a variety of
I diseases is by now well known to the public.
Its use in the prevention of diseases, notably
those that are complications of other diseases is
less well known, largely because it is a recent de-
velopment.
Sulphanilamide has no effect upon the virus
that causes measles, nor upon the germs that
cause whooping cough. Its use in these diseases
would therefore appear to.be illogical. Yet the
drug appreciably reduces the complications of
both illnesses.
From the Northeastern and Western Hos-
pitals of London there comes the report of a
study involving 1,219 cases of measles and 241
cases of whooping cough. These cases were divid-
ed into two groups. One of these was treated
prophylactically with sulphanilamide.
The second group, in contrast to the one
treated according to the best established routine,
developed fewer complications. Middle ear infec-
tion and bronchopneumonia, two of the most
common and menacing complications of measles
appeared less frequently.
The same was true of the cases of whooping
cough receiving sulphanilamide. (It should be
borne in mind that the drug was not used to treat
measles or whooping cough, but as a precaution
against complications of these diseases. I
Similar use of sulphanilamide is being made
in obstetrical treatment, where the drug first
proved its value. In England it is reported that,
previous to the use of sulphanilamide in 1935,
of every hundred women developing childbed fe-
ver, twenty-five died of the infection. Since the
introduction of the drug the case fatality rate has
fallen to but five per hundred.
Not content to merely treat the infections
after they have developed, physicians are now
Nsing the drug prophylactically, that is, to pre-
vent the development of child-birth fever.

Nation’s Business has been taking an in-
ventory of these federal “researches,”
"studies." ■ rojc to and conferences aimed
at uplifting adult Americans into the true
light and understanding. They cover ev-
erything from to how a mother should
suckle'her baby to the best means of lur-
ing earthworms out of the ground with
worm music. Without these Essential serv-
ices of their government, people might
never learn that “baby pens can be built
from, canvas,” or that fleas abound on
wild animals in Bitterroot Valley.
With every booklet and every release
from this great propaganda mill goes, of
course, the implication that a generous,
socially-minded .government is doing all
these things for its citizens, out of pure
goodness of heart of its great leaders.
Let’s imagine that every family were
asked once a year, to contribute, say $50,
for this worthy education work. What a
curtailment, what a dearth of government
—banded education there would be!
