DR.. E. Y. Williams had gun
at his back when he discovered a
humane treatment for drug ad-
diets.
And now, nine years later, the
Negro physician believes he has
found the way to ease drug ad-
diets off narcotics without hor-
flying withdrawal symptoms.
Its very. very good" he says,
unreservedly.
DR.. Williams, head of the neuro-
psychiatric division at Howard
University Medical School, has
been experimenting with the use
of calcium gluconate to ease with
drawal symptoms of addictS until
their craving for drugs is gone.
1T is great improvement over
the painful method now in general
use, of gradually withholding
1rugs from the patients" he said.
''Vnder that method, it IL a pain

Made Discovery Years Ago.
DR.. Williams discovery was
made nine years ago when he Wis
tied a patient in the District.
Il was making the call for an
other doctor" he related. "The
minute I stepped in the door, I
faced an obvious drug addict deep
in the craving stages for drugs.
Another man in the room was
holding a gun.
They took my bag from me,
and while one man held the gun
on me, the other emptied the
contents of the bag onto a bed.
Where's the morphine?' he
asked.
Il told him 7 didn't have any,
and he asked me what I could
give him. I told him I had some
nembutal. but he said he wasn't
interested in yellow Jackets
Drug for Heart Patients.
'He kept examining the medi-
cines, asking me what each one
was fer. Finally, he reached the
calcium gluconate. ! told him
that it was a drug for heart pa
tientS and that it made people feel
warm.
He demanded that I give some
to him, and with the gun at my
back. there wasn't much else I
could do.
CAS- soon as he took it-within
a couple of minutes-he straight
ened up, his trembling stopped,
and his symptoms had disap-
peared."
After the drug took effect, the
men ordered the doctor to leave
the house. DR.. Williams returned
the next day, out of curiosity to
learn what had happened to the
man, but he found that both men
had fled after the incident.
They apparently were afraid
I'd called the police" he said.
On Staff at Freedman'S.
Eight months later, drug ad-
dict was admitted to Freedman's
Hospital, where DR.. Williams is on
the staff. The physician recalled
the incident and asked permission
to treat the patient. His years of
experimenting were under way.
Taking a drug addict directly
off drugs has been termed bar
barrie" DR.. Williams said. But
with the use of this medicine, |
that is no longer true"
Calcium gluconate, normally
used as an aid in certain diagnosis
work, apparently blocks nerve
endings so that the normal with
drawal pains are not felt, DR.. Will
iams said. But he added that he
is not certain exactly how i'll
works.
