Death Rate From Pneumonia Declines Minneapolis (U.R) Death rate from pneumonia has declin ed to about one-fourth of what it was HO years ago. according to the Minnesota State Medical association. A bulletin said the science of treating pneumonia has ad vanced considerably. It said the first modern method of treat ment that helped pneumonia patients survive was the admin istration of oxygen by an oxy gen tent. Then in the 1930 s specific serums were found to combat the germs. When "sulfa ' drugs were in troduced, they were found to be more effective and easier to ad minister and soon replaced the older, more involved treatment. Penicillin and other antibiotic drugs provided another means of fighting almost any lung in fection regardless of the cause. Monday. July 23. 1956' Burke, Furgol Kroll in PGA By LEO H.
