Navy Reports
Cold Remedy >
NEW YORK, Sept. 28 -L,
(AP)—A common cold cure
which worked 90 per cent of
the time, if you caught the
cold within the first hour, is
reported by Captain John M 1 .
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.
Brewster’s report.

However, there’s nothing new in
that. It’s a statement which could
have been made at any time since
June of 1946 ^hen the subject
first came before the United' Na

Both sides call for control, but
the trouble ha$ been that the
Soviet and the west have been
as far apart as the poles on what
the controls should be.
Moscow calls jfor the absolute
prohibition of atomic weapons
Well and good—a|nd three cheers by
all concerned. However, the Rus
sians want the destruction of pre
sent atomic stockpiles- before any
convention is sijgned.
They also insist on the reten
tion of the veto in matters affect
ing atomic-control and this veto

the terms of an agreement 41.j
