SAVED BY PENICILLIN
FORMER GOVERNOR OF BANK Rec. 10 a.m. LONDON, June 28. Penicillin saved the life of Lord Norman, former Governor of the Bank of England. The surgeon who operated on him, Mr. Dickson Wright, told the Press Association
that Lord Norman was suffering from a type of meningitis which was 100 per cent fatal before the advent of penicillin. Lord Norman bears the scars of the operation on his forehead through which penicillin was directed to the brain. Born in 1871, Montagu Collet Norman was Governor of the Bank of England from 1920 to 1944. He was created a peer in July last. He won the D.S.O. in the South African war.
