BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-A hypodermic
in the spine to make the cure Of drug
addicts easy and painless was re-
ported today to the Congress Of Anes-
thetists.
The hypodermic is an anesthetic
causing nerve block" form Of
anesthesia often used in surgery to
render portion of the body insensible
to pain.
Eases Withdrawal Shock.
This sort Of nerve block, M. B.
Greene. M. D., Of Brooklyn, declared.
frees narcotic addicts during their first
few days of abstention from the ner-
vous shock, excitement and mental
upsets that accompany withdrawal Of
morphine.
The nerve block was used on the
splanchnic nerves. These control the
automatic movements Of the stomach
and abdominal organs.
In his experiments DR.. Greene
stopped the narcotic completely after
giving the nerve block injection. In
the first six hours after stoppage Of
the drug there were occasional signs
Of nervous upsets. After that the
morphine apparently was no longer
missed.
Effect Temporary.
The effects of the spinal nerve block
are temporary but DR.. Greene said
that the distressing withdrawal symp-
toms" of narcotics come mostly in the
first three days after stopping the use
Of the drug.
Before trying the nerve block method
on humans, DR.. Greene experimental
with rabbits. The animals were first
given enough morphine to make them
"addicts." When the drug was stopped,
some Of the rabbits were given nerve
block, the others none. The animals
with the spinal hypodermic recovered

trouble.
