Possible Cure For Malaria

AMERICAN scientists think that they might have discovered a cure for malaria. For security reasons, the nature of the drug is extremely hush hush, and it is believed that at this stage the new treatment contains an element of danger.

The scientists have been aided in their research by volunteers from the Atlanta (Georgia) penitentiary, who allowed themselves to be infected by anopheles mosquitoes. These experiments were con sidered necessary because neither quinine nor atebrin effect a complete cure for malaria, and the new drug might revo lutionise treatment in combat areas.
