Their superiors told them quickly

The American Medical Association
has advised against its use for normal
subjects, and physicians do not recon-

On its favorable side are its

of alcoholic stupor have been helped

dangerous as its proper medical use
is beneficial.
In the Midwest, high school
students interest in il has spread
from state to state. Those who have
been so foolhardy as TO experiment
with it do not know its potentialities.
Its improper use can lead TO violent
cerebral symptoms, confusion, and
tendencies toward suicide and murder
In New York City and in college
towns, some students are taking it as
they cram, through the night, for
examinations. They, too, can't realize
either the mental hazard or the pos
sibility of physical reactions: altered
blood pressure, variable pulse, nausea
and diseases of the skin.
In CenTalia, Ill, some youngsters
raShneSs has become a matter of
concern both to school authorities and
police, who have been investigating
drugtaking among some students.
Police Chief Orville T. Bounds re-
ports four students have admitted
taking the chemical when a craze for
il developed in the school, and he
believes the problem is duplicated in
other Midwest towns. The drug was
introduced into his town, he thinks,
by a student who found il becoming
popular in Indiana.
In the form of pills, il can be
obtained on a doctors prescription,
but students have found another way

Biologists experiments prove this

In single-day tests on 55
persons, more than half re-

In three-day tests on LAT
medical students, 113 reported
the drug gave them "a feeling
of peppiness, and more than
half said they felt their power
of concentration increased.
These feelings of exhilara-
tion and of heightened mental
capacity may be deceptive. In
vestigators think the drug is
more likely TO fire a student
with a desire TO turn out a
