Immunization by Pills Success
A pill that immunizes against scarlet fever was announced to the American Medical Association. Dr. George F. Dick and Gladys Henry Dick developed the pill as a substitute for vaccination. Trials on 102 persons showed four percent immunized and the rest with transient rashes. The Dicks cautioned it is not a general substitute and should be used where vaccination is risky or urgent during an epidemic.
