CALLS TWILIGHT

DR.. Rongy Declares De
lirium Erightens Women
from Treatment.

Twilight sleep in this country now
is practically dead. according to DR..
A. ]. Rongy, attending obstetrican and
gynecologist at the Jewish Maternity
and Lebanon hospitals. This state
ment was made by the physician yes
terday, only a day following the an
nouncement of the death in the ma
ternity ward of the Long Island Col
lege Hospital of Mrs. Francis X Car
mOdy, one. of the leading propagandists
of the "Dammerschlaf" movement.
Mrs. Carmody's death, however. was
not due to twilight sleep. and her hus-
band. at his home. lll4 Ocean Avenue.

"haye both been enthusiastic about

have lost none of my interest. 1t had
nothing TO do with Mrs. Carmody's
death, and YOU can say this as strongly
o. you wish"
DR.. Rongy blames two sources for
York. He said last night that the Ma
tional Twilight Sleep Association. Of
which Mrs. Carmody was one of the
leading spirits. had placed the doctors
on the defensive by its campaign for
the Freiburg method. AM had encour-
aged mothers 10 ask for IT, He added
that the statement Of Dr.. Ninas s
Gregory, Of bellevue Hospital. that de-
lirium sometimes followed the admin
lstration of sOpolamin 10 women. had
frightened mothers from taking the
treatment
The physician also pointed out that
most women misunderstood Just what
the Freiburg treatment was.
twilight sleep can be compared to
somnambulism." he said. "A man
walks in his sleep at night and knows
nothing Of 1t the next morning, and
although he denies il. the fact still
remains that he has walked. Just so.
woman taking twilight sleep treat
ment has pain but does not feel il.
This leads her 10 believe she has NOT
suffered. but she has.
SIX months ago many women that
came 10 me anXiously asked TO be given
the treatment. But in the last four
months only one that | remember has
requested it. 1t was accepted at first
with too much enthusiasm. The Twi-
light Sleep Association let its interest
run away with it, and did the great
est harm to the movement by urging
mothers TO insist on having it. There
have not been enough physicians
skilled 70 give il. for they did not
know enough about it, and the practice
has gradually been abandoned in most
Of the hospitals"
DR.. Rongy said there could not pos
sibly have been any effect upon Mrs.
Carmody from the administration Of
scopolamin she received az Freiburg,
where her fourth child. a twilight baby,
was born. He asserted that the work
of the drug was accomplished in a few
hours, and was not felt afterward.
