COMPANIONS ARE SICK

Philadelphia. May f1-Serious re- suits have followed the feeding of cai- feine. a drug lurking in chocolate as well as coffee, tO tbe eight student members of the poison squad or the Hahnemann Medical College here. All have been subject Co severe headacnes and serious attacks of nausea, WnHe one member of the squad was in such a serious condition after taking the caffeine laden water for the hrsl twenty days that he had to be placed in a special ward in the hospital ne received constant attention. has re- covered and at the college IS saiu 70 have rejoined the squad.
 "The poison squad" al the Han- nemann college was formed very quietly. 1t came into existence on March and is under the direct su- pervision of pr. Edmund T. Nesbit. director of the Herring laboratory Of the college.
 Dr. Nesbit called for volunteers from among the students. He said he wanted men who were willing Co do something for the benefit of humani- ty at large, even though it might pe to their own discontinue. twenty five students volunteered. or tnese fourteen of the most perfect physi-
 
 members of the squad and three az ., .,t.,,.,.t,r
 For thirty days the members of the sonad 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 con dition. It was not until within the last few days that one member Of the squad weakened under the experiment to such an extent that it was neces- sary to send him to the hospital. Dr. Nesbit refuses to reveal the name or 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 water the squad drank. The students did not know when they were getting the caffeine There were no stated times for giving it in ordey to keep the mind of the student free from worry in order that the physical condition might not be changed materially through the action of tne hrain.
 Before joining the poison @quad- each student had Co sign a rc&ase against any action for damages aga.-st tba nolIe0e
 
 The laboratory was organized about fifteen months ago with Dr. NeaDit as director. and almost immediately an exhaustive study was started tO as- certain the destructive qualities of caffeine as used in food stuffs.
 The students continued 10 live at the dormitories or at boarding houses. but they were required 10 take their meals at the training table located in the hospital near the diet kitchen. Before each meal the temperature was recorded the pulse and respiration were taken and the blood pressure was tested. During the period the drug was administered only pr. Nes- bit knew the amount apportiened Co each man and when and fin what quan- tity it was administered.
