Abstract

The representative of a big American firm of chemical manufacturing (including antibiotics) corporation, addressing the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, who were holding their 60th annual conference, referred to the results of nutritional tests carried out on children both in Central America and in Italy. Groups of school‐agers were given a daily oral dose of aureomycin for periods extending in some cases to more than two years. It is claimed that children receiving the antibiotic showed significantly greater increases in weight and height than control groups. Old people, too, it was claimed, have benefited from the daily administration of aureomycin, which was said to improve appetitite and produce a sense of well‐being.
