Prof M. F. Shoatakovskiy, Laureate of the Stalin Prize, has found a
substitute for Peruvian balsam and suggests that it be used In therapeutic
practice. The first tests have shown that the substitute, "vinylin," now

has even better therapeutic action against rar-caln diseases.
The Ministry of Health USSR has ordered .z numb5r ct uherapeut"r institutions
of Moscow and Kiev to conduct a clinical check of the biological properties and
therapeutic action of this substance for certain skin diseases, trophic sores,
burns, fresrt-I 'c, and purulent wounds. Results of those tests were presented
a. a meeting of the Presidium of the Scientific Medical Council, Ministry of
Health USSR.

Medsantrud, reported that the balsam was used in 118 mastitis, phlegmon, and
carbuncle cases. It prcved affective against pathologic conditions and promoted
tissue regeneration. Active epithelization was noted during the latter half of
the treatment period. Prof N, N. Priorov reported similar results in the
treatment of soft tissue traumata aml septic wounds,
