COMPANIONS ARE SICK
Every Member Of Band Suffers Nau-
sea as Result Of Caffeine
Experiments.

Philadelphia, May 11.-Serious re-
suits have followed the feeding of caf-
feline, a drug lurking in chocolate as
well as coffee, to the eight student
members of the poison squad" Of the
Hahnemann Medical College here. All
have been subject to severe headaches
and serious attacks of nausea, while
one member of the squad was in such
a serious condition after taking the
caffeine-laden water for the first TWEEN
ty days that he had to be placed in a
special ward in the hospital. He re-
ceived constant attention, has recov-
cred and at the college is said to have
rejoined the squad.
The, poison squad" at the Hahne-
mann college was formed very quiet
ly. 1t came into existence on March
/ and is under the direct supervision
of DIR. Edmund T. Nesbit, director OF
the Herring laboratory of the college.
Dr. Nesbit called for volunteers from
among the students. He said he want
ed men who were willing to do some
thing for the benefit OF humanity at
large, even though 1t might be to their
own discontinue. Twenty-Five stud
ents volunteered OF these fourteen of
the most perfect physically were chos-
en-, eleven as regular members of the
squad and three as alternates.
For thirty days the members of the
squad were given doses of caffeine
while Dr. Nesbit and his assistants
made personal observations, taking
the pulses and temperature of the
members of the squad and making
notes on their general physical condi-
ton. 1t was not until within the last
few days that one member of the
squad weakened under the experiment
to such an extent that il was neces-
sary to send him to the hospital. DR..
Nesbit refuses to reveal the name of
the student who collapsed, but de-
clares that through proper treatment
Immediately he soon recovered.
The caffeine was administered in a
solution and was mixed with the wa
ter the squad drank. The students
did not know when they were getting
the caffeine. There were no stated
times for giving il in order to keep
the mind of the student free from wor-
ry in order that the physical condition
might not be changed materially
through the action of the brain.
Before joining the poison squad
each student had to sign a release
against any action for damages
against the college.
The laboratory was organized about
fifteen months ago with DR.. Nesbit as
director. and almost Immediately an
exhaustive study was started to ascer-
tain the destructive qualities OF caf-
feline as used in food stuffs.
The students continued TO live at
the dormitories or at boarding hous-
es. but they were required to take
their meals at the training table 10
Gated in the hospital near the diet
kitchen. Before each meal the tenn
perature was recorded, the pulse and
respiration were taken and the blood
pressure was tested. During the per-
iod the drug was administered only
DIR. Nesbit knew the amount appor-
toned to each man and when and in
what quantity It was administered.

Miss Margaret Mooney, teacher in
the public schools, has written the
words for two pretty new songs. pub
