LOS ANGELES, May 90
Fright apparently is good medi-
cine for some tubercular people.
Several cases in which a good
scare favorably turned the course
of treatment for sanitarium pa
tients we're reported to the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association
today by a group of Seattle ply
SicianS.
The frightening episodes were
brought on accidentally, but the
results we're so striking that the
doctors now plan to use fright
scientifically as an experimental
means of treatment.
This strange finding was the
result of experiments to deter
mine what part the adrenal gland
plays in the role of the dread
disease. The work was done by
DR.. Edmund r. Clarke, DR.. Dan
iel w. Zahn and DR.. Thomas
H. Holmes of Firland Sanotarium,
Seattle.
The adrenal glands, which are
cap-like formations atop the
kidneys, produce adrenalin, 9
hormone which the body uses
in large quantities during pc
riods of anger, fright or other
forms of mental stress. During
calm periods this hormone is
produced and utilized at rela-
lively low levels.
The Seattle doctors measured
