Your Health
Injections Used
in Treatment of
Neuroses

By HERMAN BUNDBsEN. NJ.
ONE Of the new forms Of treat
ment which has come out Of the
war Is known as narco-synthesis
which refers 20 a method for ham
ding mental illnesses or neuroses.
These neuroses developed during
the war because Of the shock Of
combat, but they also may develop
as a result Of difficulties arising
from the loss Of home, of finances,
of a relative, or similar causes. In
the sick persons mind these diffi-
eulties at times seem insurmount-
able.
Every person, normal or alb
normal, has emotional difficulties
which arise at one time or another,
but the normal person learns to
meet them in the right way. II we

and adjust ourselves 10 1t we gala

cannot adjust himself TO his diff
culties he may develop feeling Of

self. He develops q feeling Of fail
ure and hopelessness.
Fear and Failure
In treating these neuroses ae-
eompanied by fear and q feeling
Of failure and hopelessness, two
methods have been evolved. Both
consist Of the doctor giving an in
lection into q vein Of a substance
known as a barbiturate.
In one type Of treatment, enough
Of the preparation is given to keep
the patient asleep for from Is to
20 hours daily for from 5 to 20
days. During two waking periods
daily, the patient is found TO be
more quiet and relaxed and in bet
ter contact with the world. His
emotional problems then can be
discussed with him more success.
fully.
Smaller Doses
In the other type Of treatment,
smaller doses of the barbiturate
are given, not enough to produce
sleep, but just enough to make the
patient more susceptible to sug-
gestion. In this state, he can talk
more clearly about his conflicts
and his memories.
According to Doctor Addison M.
Duval of Washington, D. c., the
best drug to use is one known as
sodium pentothal. He suggests
that it be used in all neuroses in
which there are severe anxiety,
loss Of speech, stupor and loss Of
memory.
Dramatic results have been re-
ported. The stuporous patients be-
come alert. Those who have lost
their speech can talk; the deafened
can hear.
This treatment is easily carried
out, but, of course, should be en-
ployed only by an expert in mental
disturbances.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Elk: What can cause the pu-
pills Of the eyes to be unequal in
sizel Could diseased tonsils and
teeth have anything to do with this
condition.
Answer: Inequality in the size
or the pupils of the eyes may be
due to certain infections. However,
this condition may be normal. An
examination by an eye specialist
is needed in each case to determine
what causes this condition. II Is
not likely that diseased tonsils and
teeth are responsible.

Ballard is in Swedish hospital

ton offices at 80 Glenwood Ave.
Accidentally locked in the offices
while he was working late Monday,
Ballard tried to climb down the
telephone pole located just outside
a second story window. He lost
his hold and fell to the ground.
Ballard, contacted Wednesday at
Swedish hospital, said he lay on the
ground for about twenty minutes
before he was able to attract the
attention of motorists on the street.
The first party who came TO his
aid promised to summon an ambu-
lance, but according to Ballard, no
ambulance came, and he continued
to shout for help.
A second motorist, attracted by
his cries, also promised to call an
ambulance, but again Ballard said
no ambulance came.

identified Negro heard Billiards.

summoned an ambulance but re-
turned with it.
Ballard said Wednesday that he

Good Samaritan" whom he would
like to have call him at Swedish
hospital, Atlantic 0413.
