Streptomycin is slightly toxic (but no more so than the sulfa drugs, which do not halt TB) and makes patients rather dizzy. Though it suppresses the disease, it does not actually kill the germs. Patients who are taken off the drug do not continue to improve, sometimes relapse...
THENARDOL, a new antiseptic for which the base is common household hydrogen peroxide, can be sprayed, inhaled, given to patients allergic to sulfa drugs or penicillin. Developed by Dr. Ethan Allan Brown of Boston, thenardol is super-safe, non-allergy-causing...
...shrunken body, doctors gave him large amounts of vitamin B complex, beef essence, apple pulp, plasma. Sulfa drugs and penicillin helped clean out the small army of virulent germs.

Last week a tiny ray of hope came from the National Leprosarium at Carville, La. which has been trying out Promin, one of the first sulfa drugs used against tuberculosis (the germs of the two diseases are much alike). In three years 32,000 daily injections were given to 137 leper volunteers. Result: 58% improved. In 10% of those treated over a year, leprosy bacteria disappeared; in another 30%, bacteria were reduced in number. (The tendency among untreated lepers is for bacteria to increase...
After romping home first in the Nashville Open, 19 strokes below par, the wasp-waisted Texan headed for Dallas. En route last week, he came down with flu, gobbled some sulfa pills, decided to play anyhow. Despite a 102° fever, he fired a 68 to tie for the first-round lead in the $10.000 Dallas Open. But next day, woozy from sulfa, he slumped to 74. After that he could not catch Sam Snead (lately recovered from a broken arm), Jug Mc-Spaden or Byron Nelson. Hogan finished fourth with a 3-under-par. In the longer...
