To Probe Dominion Penicillin Making
(Special) DARGAVLLLE, This Day. The Minister for Health (Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer) announced that the Government had decided to send to Australia the well-known Wellington pathologist, Dr. P. P. Lynch, for the purpose of investigating the possibility of manufacturing penicillin in New Zealand. “There are certain technical difficulties in the manufacture of this substance which may be difficult to overcome but it will be Dr. Lynch’s function to examine the facts closely and to report cn the position,” stated Mr Nordmeyer. “The beneficial effects of penicillin in certain cases are so marked that the Government feels that every avenue should be explored to increase the supply available. If it proves impracticable to manufacture it here efforts will be made to secure a regular supply from oveseas, preferably from Australia.”
