Jf 2. w 1 Wft ' ii raae uerc ana - ; HERTFORD, K C.; I -ft pneumonia victims this year, accord ing to Stephen J. McDonough medical journalist, who writes a .dramatic personal story in the current Rptar ian magazine. Shortly after he had released a sulfapyridine press dispatch iwith skepticism and crossed fingers McDonough found himself desperate ly ill with the most deadly type of pneumonia infection. But his physi cian wasn't helpless, because sulfapy ridine was just emerging from the experimental' stage, and a supply was rushed 500, miles to treat his case. Within a week after sulfapy ridine treatments were begun he was out of the hospital. Miraculous? Yes, declares this Rotarian contri butor, but that's the way this new chemical works. An. allied drug of sulfanilamide, which was originally "just a brick red powder1 one of the coal-tar dyes used to color cloth," sulfapyri dine is unlike many other germi cides, which annihilate germs, Mc Donough writes. "Sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine smother the disease causing bacteria. Most disease germs con grow oniy when they have enough oxygen, just like a human being. They use oxygen only by first converting it into hydrogen per oxide, the common gargling fluid. Sulfanilamide and sulfapyridine stop this oxygen conversion process and keep the germs from breathing until the white blood corpuscles consume them." Carolinians Out To Break 1939 Accident Record? Sixty-two Persons Met Death on Carolina Streets and Highways Last Month Raleigh. North Carolinians start ed out in January as though they mean this year to top their 1939 traffic accident record, which showed a toll of 943 killed and 7,190 injured in the State.
