Fieser Announces Discovery of Drug Which May Cure Malaria

Louis F. Fieser, Sheldon Emery Professor of Organic Chemistry, disclosed late last week the discovery of several new organic compounds which are more potent in the prevention of malaria than either stabrine or quinine and which show permanent curative effects. Speaking at the dedication of the Kresege-Hooker Scientific Library at Wayne University in Detroit, Fieser asserted that the new compounds constitute a new departure in the field of chemotherapy.
