Penicillin Puncture

Way To Treat Disease

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

chances. '

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." - - -
