1. An acute shortage of some of the psnioilli ; preparations in use has been
felt recently. Physicians and hospitals have been advised to proscribe
the drug more sparingly than hitherto,
2. Streptomycin, aureomycin, and terramycin may be issued only after permission
has been granted by a chief physician of a hospital. Such permission is
granted in most cases only after the blood or sputum of the patient has been
tested for reaction to the antibiotic concerned.
3. Chloramphenilkol, described as a Czech invention, is to be found on the market
in sufficient quantities.
