CAUTION URGED
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 19. The public as well as the medical profession must be educated away from the belief that antibiotics were a great panacea for any state of fever, said Dr. J. McC. Murdoch in Auckland today. People in England, especially the parents of young children, expected their doctors to prescribe antibiotics for any fever when often the patient would get better without them, he said. Doctors were often frightened not to use antibiotics in case they deprived the patient of some benefit, he said.
