How many lives were
saved last year by the use of
penicillin? A million? Two
million?
Who is credited with the
discovery of penicillin? The
British physician. Sir Alex
ander Fleming, discovered
the wonder drug in 1928 while
working as a bacteriologist
at St. Mary’s Hospital,
London.
However, it was not until
1939 that penicillin was used
effectively in the treatment
of infections. In the mean
time, a group of Oxford
pathologists under the direc
tion of Sir Howard V. Florey
made further advances with
penicillin.
Sir Fleming was knighted
for his work by the king in
1944. Now, our pharmacists
aren’t officially knights of
the round table, but we make
such an effort to serve you
that you would think you are
a king.

Is Cloud Nine A New Home?
THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1975
The discovery that you
have diabetes is not the end
of the world.
“Although the causes are
not fully known and there is
no known cure the condition
can be controlled and a
diabetic can lead a normal
life just like anybody else,”
says Dr. Joseph Wilber,
director of the adult health
division of the Georgia
Department of Human Re
sources and a member of the
Board of the Atlanta Dia
betes Association.
There are at least 300,000
Georgians who are diabetics.
Of these 300,000 people an
estimated 150,000 don’t know
they have the disease.
“Perhaps the word
‘disease’ is a misnomer.
‘Diabetic condition’ might be
a better phrase,” says Dr.
Wilber.
The cause, or causes of
diabetes are unknown but
research indicates that there
are problems connected with
the pancreas, the putuitary
gland and the use of glucose
by the body cells. These
organs control the body’s
production and use of insulin.
Insulin controls the body’s
ability to convert sugar into
energy which is used as fuel
to power the daily activities
of muscles and the nervous
system. Diabetes is an
imbalance in this complex
system.
Basically, diabetes is clas
sified in two forms, juvenile
diabetes and maturity onset
diabetes. Though there is
considerable overlap, ac
cording to Dr. Wilber, a
tendency toward the juvenile
diabetes is thought to be
predominately hereditary.
The second type, maturity
onset diabetes, occurs later
generally between 30 and
70 years of age and more
frequently in those who are
overweight. Dr. Wilber says,
“Most maturity onset cases
can be controlled by diet and
a reduction of the overweight
problem. In some cases

Diabetes Does Not Mean
The End of The World
simple weight loss is all the
treatment that is needed. In
contrast most juvenile dia
betics usually require daily
doses of insulin and stricter
attention to diet.
“There are major league
baseball players, popular
singers, tennis players,
authors, airline pilots and
thousands of busy, active
people who are diabetics,”
says Dr. Wilber. “The
common denominator to
overcoming this apparant
handicap is faithfully follow
ing the regimen prescribed
by your doctor.”
The first step is detection.
