MANY LIVES SAVED
MANUFACTURE OF PENICILLIN IN AUSTRALIA. STATEMENT BY MINISTER FOR HEALTH. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.25 p.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. Australian-made penicillin has already saved the lives of many civilians, as well as service members, said the Minister for Health, Senator Fraser. He added that Australia was the first country in the world able to satisfy its service requirements and also to provide a quantity of the drug for urgent civilian cases. Two Australian Army medical officers spent six weeks in
America late last year learning the technique of manufacture. Within six weeks of their return to Australia, last December, penicillin was being produced at the Commonwealth serum laboratories in large quantities.
