Fast Diagnoses een

By BILL RAWLINS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Suppose a mysterious infection has you down and the doctor isn’t sure what's wrong. Maybe one of the wonder drugs will help.

The doctor will take a newly developed testing kit in his own office to find out quickly just the wonder drug, or antibiotic, to get you back on your feet.

Take another example: An epi- demic spreads through your child’s school and your doctor has never before come across anything like it. That testing kit again may show him which anti- biotic to use.

In neither case will the kit show the doctor what is wrong, but both times it should show him what to do. Each test may take as little as 30 minutes, and

the doctor will need no medical laboratory or trained technicians.

SENSITIVITY TEST

‘The testing kit, called a sensi-

tivity test, was developed by a

young Knoxville bacteriologist. Sensitivity tests go, hand \- in-

hand with antibiotics. This is be-

This level of interest is the pro- duct of two main factors: A con- tinuing strong demand for loans in the present period of rapid economic expansion, and the cen- tral bank’s apparent desire to avoid an inflationary expansion in the supply of money in the eountry.

MORE GENERAL LOANS Figures issued Thursday showed that the general loans by chartered banks had risen by $180,000,000 in the four weeks up to July 29. At that date they totalled $5,039,000,000 — some $820,000,000 than a r earlier.
