ship. While they were aboard he
analyzed 100 of the men, hoping to
lay the basis for handling future
patients broken by what was called
shell shock" in the last war and
now is more generally termed war
neurosis.'
You'd be surprised how such
simple things as showers and ice
cream rebuild morale" Farnsworth
said. Rest and quiet are impor-
tant factors, too, because 1 found
that about Is per cent of my
patients were simply worn out from
lack of sleep"
In paper read before the
medical staff on this ship, Farms
worth said he had one marine who
broke and wept and begged not to
be sent back to that green hell"
All that marine needed was rest
