Conduct Experiment To Save Lives Of War Wounded
Austin, Texas — (UP) — Indian tribes of Mexico, noted for quick recoveries from serious wounds, used a plant that American scientists today hope will end gangrene in war wounds and save thousands of lives in army field hospitals.
The plant has been revealed as Castilian Malva. An unnamed Mexico City physician called it to the attention of doctors at San Antonio, Texas. The Upjohn laboratories took up the search, and now Dr. Carl Albers, associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Texas here, is conducting experiments to determine how best to grow, harvest and cure the plant.
Castillan Malva is a small leafy plant which grows in Mexico, Texas, California and British Columbia. It is related to the hollyhock and hibiscus in the flower plants and to cotton and okra among the food and utility plants. Though new as a scientific medicine, it has long been used as a domestic remedy in Mexico.
It may be used equally well as a dusting powder, a salve or in liquid form. Physicians explain that its value rests in a power to arrest degeneration of wounded and infected human tissues. "The use of malva will revolutionize the treatment of wounded in this war," Dr. Albers predicted.
Soldier Is Movie Glutton
Camp Roberts, Cal. — (UP) — Pvt. Gilbert Roybal, formerly of Taos, N. Mex., plans to go to the movies every night for the next month and it won't cost him a cent. Roybal bought the one-millionth theater ticket sold in the camp motion picture houses to win a pass.
