sleeping pills for exactly two
weeks. After a short period Of
disqualification he regained the
use Of his legs and enough COM
nonsense to seek solution to his
problems other than through bar
biturates.
Susceptibility to barbiturate ad,
diction depends more upon indivi-
duel emotional and environmental
factors than upon age or lex.
NJ addiction Of any sort is per-
manently cured by fear alone.
Fear is more likely to drive the
individual to the marcotizing eff
fects OF his addiction.
Medical care may cleanse the
body but only in re-educAting the
individual will he be able to with
stand the temptation to return to
drugs. This education begins with
his learning to understand himself,
to see himself with clear and I'M
flinching honesty.
Learn Sense of Values
He learns that most difficult of
all human activities-TO THINK
and to substitute thinking for
emoting. Further, he must acquire
a revitalized philosophy that be-
comes as much a part of himself as
his eyes and ears. He must learn
that SENSE OF VALUES is not
a facile and meaningless phrase
but rather a precious kind of per-
sonal weighing machine upon
which he can balance the good and
evil Of any life situation.
Any daily user Of sedatives
should be concerned about him
self and his future life. Advice re-
garding this and the possible I'M
seen damage can be obtained by
having a careful physical, psychia-
trio and psychological examination
made including a record Of the
brain waves, and blood tests to
determine the amount of sedatives

in the blood.
Go to any large teaching research
medical center for this examina-
ton or, if you desire, have them
refer you to a specially trained
private physician; or you may
write to the Mental Hygiene Di-
vision of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, Washington,
D. C.
Remember, sedatives may cripple
or kill you.
, 1951-11-15

These tragic results are also
noted in individuals who continue
on with daily doses of barbital or
phenobarbital. Medical scientists
have devised a blood test to deter
mine whether or not you are being
poisoned by any Of the barbital
sedatives and the blood test reveals
whether or not the drugs are &C
cumulating and piling up in your
system.
Start With Fallacy
Every addict begins with the
tragic fallacy that everyone takes
these mild helpful drugs.
All he wants is a good nights
sleep. Or some seeking a new
thrill, experiment with the deadly
combination Of barbiturates plus
alcohol. Then, like the alcoholic,
he takes more pills to relieve the
suffering Of his hangover.
Behind every b~arbiturate victim
as we'll as every alcoholic or NOR
phine addict y are similar deep
underlying causes. Basically the
addict is al emotional infant, liy-
ing his malajusted life in a fright
ening adult world.
We r not talking here about
the so-called "misfit" or "inade-
quate personality" We are talking
about the average" person who
has gotten off on the wrong foot
in his relations to other humans
and himself.
He possesses a s~elfpitying, self
pampering tendency bound up
with the desire to escape from
fear and insecurity. Nor will he
tolerate unhappiness. AS though
periods of unhappiness are not the
lot Of all mankind. He emotes-
he does not think.
Help for a Time
Barbiturates will, for a time,
make one feel calm, less unhappy,
and induce sleep. But in due course
Nature exacts a terrible penalty.
Barbiturates can hit as sudden
ly and effectively as a pair of brass
knuckles. MI. A. was propelled in
to my office in a wheel chair, his
legs paralyzed. He had been taking

Does this sound exaggerated?
DR.. Harris Isbell of the United
States Public Health Service Hos
pital at Lexington, Kentucky,
says:
"Barbiturates are addiction
forming drugs, and the manifes-
tations of chronic barbiturate
intoxication are much more SER
ious and dangerous than those
of addiction to morphine"
In spite of this danger, produc-
ton of the barbiturates in the
United States has increased 400
per cent since 1888. In 1913, over
800 tons were manufactured, or
"a doses for each person in the
country.
. Intoxication from barbiturates
accounts for about Is per cent
Of all cases Of acute poisoning adj
mitted to general hospitals, and
more deaths are caused by barbit-
urates than by any other poison.
The number of deaths due to bar
biturates poisoning has increased
800 per cent since 1910.
Sale Controlled
Barbiturates are chemically man
ufactured coal tar derivitives. The
medical profession has found them
valuable in extreme nervous and
cardiac conditions (for they slow
the heart beat). But like any mar
cotic or anesthetic used without a
doctors supervision, sleeping pills
are so dangerous that their legal
sale is strictly controlled in some
states.
Barbital and barbital combina-
tions taken in daily small doses
are exceedingly dangerous and
destructive to the brain substance
and the body. Barbiturates accum-
ulate in the body and by piling
up in the blood, "hook" an in
dividual into becoming a serious
drug addict, who can not go on
without a sedative.
If he attempts to stop abruptly
by himself, commissions, collapse,
delirium, spinal cord disorders,
permanent mental disorders and
death may ensue.
