A chemical derived from a va riety of protein and other food ingredients, the hydrolysates are especially designed for the treat ment of advanced stages of star vation. Their life-saving proper ties have been compared with those of the sulfa drugs and peni cillin. Without them, some 4,500,000 Hollanders, who have exhausted their bodies protein reserve and thus lost both their ability to di gest food and their resistance to Infection, would surely die, the organization said. This and fu ture shipments of the relief agency are expected to provide treatment for most of them by early summer. The protein hydrolysates are manufactured with various com binations and ingredients, in cluding dried skim milk, yeast, beef, pork pancreas and gluten. The mixture is digested by the action of enzymes, pepsin and trypsin during the manufactur ing process, then refined and concentrated. Its final form may be either liquid or a dehydrated powder. Forms are available for oral administration or injection, the organization said. A self-admin-isterable powder form was se lected for Holland to save ship ping space and to lessen strain on inadequate medical facilities. Clenln. Iln for Classified Ads H.M a. m.
