>From Charleroi Mail, Saturday, May 6, 1944, Page 6: "Use Penicillin To Aid Jeannette Man Burned In Foundry Greensburg, May 6--(UP)--Results of the first use of penicillin in Westmoreland county since the new curative was allotted to the Westmoreland hospital as a distribution center for this county was awaited today in the case of a Jeannette foundry worker critically burned by molten metal. The hospital's first allotment of the drug, 10,000,000 units, arrived yesterday and immediately was prescribed for Alphonse CATALON, to whom sulpha drugs previously had been administered without effect. Ten thousand penicillin units were administered intravenously to CATALNO(sic) who was burned from the waist down, on both arms and on the face at the Semler Foundry in Jeannette three weeks ago. While hospitalized for the burns he also developed pneumonia." Note--this penicillin probably didn't do anything for the poor man either. Usual dose is 1.6 Million Units for 10 days--not enough in the single dose he got, and not enough total available.
