Brewster, U. S. Navy Medical Corps. The cure is not one drug, but at least five, antihistaminics, they are the drugs you take for al lergic sneezjngg. Capt. Brewster reported his ex periments in the U. S. Naval Med-, ical bulletins of last January-Feb- mary. The drugs he used are py- ribenzatnine, themylene, neoanter- gan, his tadyl and benadryl. For every hour’s delay in taking the allergy drugs there was a drop ip cures. Waiting six hours gave only 74 per cenfj Capt. Brewster declared that it is possible to catch colds early enough. He said that cold suffer ers khow when one is beginning. “These new drugs," he writes, “eliminate sneezing, coughing and the profuse discharge from the "nose which now is left invisible on door knobs, faucet handles, hand hails, in the air we breathe, and on other places of contact. If pro perly and universally used, the antihistaminics could reduce the in cipience of colds near to the van ishing j point.” \ jj The five drugs named are not all the new antihistaminics. Capt. Brewster’s report was Confined to results) of those five. In earlier reports it was stated erroneously that a new antihistaminic drug cor- iedin had been named in Capt.
