Epileptic Cured By Red Dye Drug

EPILEPSY may soon be completely curable by Prontosil, the new red dye drug hailed by doctors as the greatest chemical discovery of the age. Prontosil has recently been tried out on a boy suffering from epilepsy by a Whitley Bay doctor, and the results, he claims, are "miraculous,"

During the last four years special diets and a whole range of sleeping-drugs and bromides had been tried in increasing doses.

But there was no improvement. The boy continued to have fits, and his mental condition deteriorated.

FITS STOPPED

"In despair, 7 grains of sulphan- omide (prontosil) were given thrice daily," the doctor reports in The British Medical Journal.

"In three days the boy ceased to have either minor or major fls, but was very restless and had night

terrors,
