Since 1st December five mega units of penicillin have been made available each month to the British Sector of Berlin from official sources, for the treatment in hospitals, including children's hospitals, of serious cases of other than venereal disease. In addition 175 mega units have been allocated from very considerable supplies made available for the same purposes by "Save Europe Now", and the British medical profession. The possibility of producing penicillin under licence in Germany is being examined in consultation with the American authorities.
