But Europe, hungry and jittery, was inclined to think the U.S. was "getting tough." Even that notably un-jittery institution, the Vatican, felt a necessity to disassociate itself (TIME, June 23) from the strong U.S. line...

And on many types of T.B. the drug had no appreciable effect at all. Most discouraging finding of all was that streptomycin, in the doses...
