Passage 1 Sydh2d
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of a~h:qpgc
new beneficent drugs. O40+M)e]
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at y #f
QPR

people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the v4Zb?
Yb
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights :qhpL-ER
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the ] U@o0
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been S-+"@>{HJ
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. .%EL \2
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they d|9b~_::V
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous 09KcKhFB
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them \e=_
