TYPHOID CASES FROM LINER MOOLTAN
NEW TREATMENT GIVEN LONDON, December 27. An official of the British Ministry of Health said to-day that the outbreak of typhoid on the liner Mooltan had been traced to two numbers of the crew who had been unwitting carriers of the disease. A new drug, Chloromycetin, is being used for the first time as a routine treatment on 16 typhoid cases from the Mooltan. Seven new suspected cases from the liner entered hospital to-day. A doctor at the Greenwich Seaman’s Hospital described the results of the treatment with the new drug as “wonderful.”
