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.
