A FRESH APPROACH TO THE CONTROLOF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT

INFECTIONSMenley & James Ltd., Coldharbour Lane,

London, S.E.5, announce the introduction of' Prinexin.' Hitherto the local use of antibioticsin treating upper respiratory tract infections hasbeen attended by the danger that the patient maybe rendered sensitive, or the bacteria resistant, tothe antibiotic at a time when its use is not essential.He is thereby denied it on some subsequentoccasion when its exhibition may decide betweenlife and death.

' Prinexin' contains gramicidin and polymyxinB, antibiotics that are rarely used systemically. Inconjunction they are effective against the wholerange of virulent organisms of the upper respira-tory tract. They are presented in combinationwith ' Paredrinex,' the remarkably effective andsafe vasoconstrictor.

' Prinexin' is effective in the prevention andtreatment of complications of the common cold;tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis, laryngitis, bron-chitis, minor chronic inflammatory conditions suchas catarrh following coryza, and skin conditionswhere the anterior nares are a focus of staphy-lococcal infection. ' Prinexin' is also valuable inreducing bacterial contamination before surgicalintervention.
