Next month Urologist John Archibald Campbell Colston of Johns Hopkins is to tell the convention of the American Medical Association a sensational piece of medical news: that he cures acute gonorrhea in four days with 40? worth of Prontylin. Prontylin is a new drug which cures many cases of blood poisoning (TIME, Dec. 28). Learning of Dr. Colston's forthcoming report and keenly aware of the nation's lively interest in the social disease which infects 2,000,000 U. S. men and women a year (twice as many as syphilis does), which is responsible for an inestimaable...
...Colston's gonorrheal patients have simply swallowed one tablet of Prontylin four times a day for four days. That course cured 85% of them. At least, no microscope or test tube revealed any residue of the disease. Why the other 15% did not respond to the drug is a typical medical problem which may take years to solve...
...with him throughout on streptococci, next applied Prontylin to the meningococci which cause spinal menngitis. The meningococcus is a close relative of the gonococcus and Dr. Long, busy with the former, suggested that Dr. Colston, brother-in-law of Johns Hopkins' famed Urologist Hugh Hampton Young, try the drug on his gonorrheal patients.

They went to work only two months ago, promptly saw enough to warrant announcement of one of Medicine's longest strides this century...

In fact, the modern drug store's large and heterogeneous stock was nothing new to Judge James P. Hughes, who was reminded of Romeo's lines in Romeo & Juliet (Act V, Scene 1) when he entered the apothecary's shop...
Well in advance of the annual depredations of grasshoppers, farmers and gardeners who read Science last week found a new, cheap and effective poison against the pests. Its significant ingredient is Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate), the common medicine cabinet drug ordinarily used for purging, poulticing, reducing. The formula which the discoverers, Mr. & Mrs. Hubert W. Frings of the University of Oklahoma, recommended contains bran (60% to 65%), molasses (15%), Epsom salt (20% to 25%), and enough water to moisten. This formula, they say, ''seems to be just as effective as the [common] 5% arsenic bait, it is cheaper...
