Penicillin Puncture Found Most Effective Way To Treat Disease Br DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Penicillin can be taken by mouth, thereby avoiding rump-puncturing, but can people be trusted to take, their pills like the doctor, or- dered? Three doctors have looked into that question and the answer seems to be that people can't be trusted. From a doctor's view point the reaction could be puncture . 'em and take no chances. ' Fail to Follow Orders Out of 245 persons the doctors checked up on, 84 had failed to follow orders.

Mr. Peepers Makes Good on Second Try Las Vegas, Nev. (U.R) Comedian Wally Cox made a big comeback last night at the swank Dunes hotel where he was re cently fired for laying the big gest entertainment egg since five-figure contracts were intro duced at this gambling resort, Jhe bespectacled Mr. Peepers of television recouped from last week's flop with a new, revit alized act that drew a resound ing ovation from the audience in the hotel's casino and put him back on the payroll under a new contract. When the shy, grinning comic walked from the stage after the show the audience gave him a one-minute ovation, proving he had "cut the mustard" on his second chance. The audience also voted three-to-one in favor of his comeback act on ballots pro vided by the hotel. "We are all happy Wally went over so well," said Dunes en tertainment chairman Alfred Gottesman. "He's a grand fel low." . The hotel announced yester day it would give Cox a second chance in the headliner act to "see if he can cut the mustard," even though it had filed a $250,- 000 suit against the comedian's agents for loss of business at Cox first, appearance here last week. - Gottesman said the hotel gave Cox the comeback try because of a flood of protest from Mr, Peeper's TV fans. old or younger. Whether the penicillin pills were taken or not taken was a matter of grave importance be cause the patients were suffer ing from streptococcus infections of the throat or the ear, Medical science has shown that such infections can lead to rheumatic fever and its dangers to the heart unless the strep tococcal bacteria are completely wiped out. Penicillin pills will wipe them out provided they are taken faithfully for seven to 10 days. ' Seniors Do Prescribing The 245 patients were treated by the Home Medical Service of the Massachusetts General Hos pitals in Boston. The prescribing was done by seniors of Boston University medical school under the supervision of their supe riors. The check-ups were made by Drs. Daniel N. Mohler, David G. Wallin, and Edward G. Drey fus. Of the 84 who stopped taking the penicillin before they should have, 31 stopped because the patient felt better, 23 stopped out of carelessness, 14 stopped on the plea that they didn't have the money to buy the pills, nine stop ped because the child refused to take any more pills, and seven stopped because they hadn't un derstood what the doctor meant. All 245 were of low income, and 80 were getting public wel fare assistance. The three doc tors, in their report in the New England Journal of Medicine, said of these 80 that although they got their pills without charge, they "did not differ m performance from the rest of the group." Six-Month Study The study was carried out over a six month period. During the first three months, the medical seniors didn't know it was going on, and so the orders they gave to the patients were no more than ordinarily emphatic. But during the last three months the seniors "emphasized" to patients the importance of taking the pills for seven days. This helped, but not nearly enough. During the first three months, 60.1 per cent took the pills as ordered; during the last three months, the percentage was 70.9. "Although this repre sented a desirable trend the in crease was not statistically sig nificant," the three doctors re marked.. - They added that their findings "are particularly significant to clinics and physicians treating a large number of streptococcal in fections with penicillin. It is sug gested that the degree of unre liability encountered in the rou tine oral use of penicillin con stitutes a significant disadvan tage in obtaining effective ther apy." - - - Small Girl Unhurt After Car Passes Over Stomach Omaha, Neb. (U.R) Doc tors said it was hard to believe but an eight-year-old girl suffer ed no serious injury when run over by the front wheel of an automobile. The girl, Connie Coogle, fell from the car as her mother back ed slowly out of a driveway. The wheel passed over her stomach, She was rushed to a hospital.' Amazed doctors conducted thorough examination . and re leased her after treatment for bruises.
