Aging Patients
Seen Aided by
Procaine Shots
BY JOHN BARBOUR
Associated Press Science Writer

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-
A common drug-controver-
sally used as an elixir for aging
people-seems to gradually pep
up their minds and helps them
gain weight, a Minnesota psy-
chologist said today.
The drug is procaine-widely
used as a local anesthetic, kin
to the numbing injections a
dentist uses on gums before
drilling.
1t was first used on aging
patients in Iron Curtain coun-
tries where it was said to have
improved both physical and
mental vigor.
But in the United States con-
siderable controversy has built
up around this sort of use, and
tests have been contradictory
or inconclusive.
Test Was Limited
DR.. Robert F. Long Of the
st. Peter Mimi State Hos
pital, said he limited his test
to the drugs effects on certain
mental faculties which he could
test. 1t was also possible, he
said, to check on the weight of
patients.
He and DR.. Solveig Gislason.
a physician, selected two groups
OF patients, from State hospital.
All were past 65 years old and
chosen as the most disoriented
SO far as knowing time and
place.
One group received injections
OF a 2 per cent solution of pro-
came three times a week for
four weeks, then a ten-day
interval, then another 12-shot
series and so on for a year.
The other group received or
binary saline water injections
on the same schedule.
There was considerable bias
against the drug among the
testing staff, DR.. Long said in
a paper presented to 3 meeting
of the American Psychological
Association.
Improvement Shown
Nevertheless, he said, the in
jections seemed to improve the
orientation, attention and men,
DRY for the tested patients.
Over the year, the control
group showed a slight decrease
in scores on these faculties
when tested. The improvement
of the procaine group was not
dramatic, but it was significant,
DR.. Long said.
At the same time, the pro-
caine group also showed sig
nificant gains in weight after
the year, when compared with
the control or study group. Not
all of the patients in either
group who started the test
completed it. At the beginning,
each group had 80 aged per-
sons.
At the end of the study, a
number had been lost from the
study for a number of reasons
from death to transfer to other
places. Seventeen of the pro-
caine group and Is Of the
saline study group completed
the years test.

Biologist Raps
Research Aims
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer

AMHERST, Mass, Aug. 20
A foremost biologist last night
criticized medical science, say
its interests are limited to 1.-THE
bedside manner" and the
highly fashionable" problems
of chemical genetics at mans
molecular level.
Laudable as these interests
are, said DR.. Rene Dubois OF the
Rockefeller Institute, doctors
and medical researchers have
at the same time grossly ne
elected" studies of the effect
upon mans whole body and
mind Of possible environmental
hazards.
Sees Neglected Areas
Addressing the annual meet
ing Of the American Institute
of Biological Sciences, he listed
the neglected areas Of study as:
/. Environmental pollution,
including radioactive fallout,
chemicals in the atmosphere,
contamination Of food and
water, and the use Of insec-
ticides and weed killers.
2, How man adapts to the
stresses of urban life.
3. Nutritional, psychological
and genetic influences on hui
man behavior.
4. Over-population problems.
There Is as yet no scientific
knowledge Of mans environ
ment and response to 1t, COM
parable to the (bedside) art Of
medicine gained by age-long
experience. or TO precise knowl-
edge of body structure gained
by one century Of scientific re-
search" DR.. Dubois said.
He said medical and biologi-
cal sciences are concentrating
on problems Of chemical ge-
netics. including explorations
OF viruses, but "the problems
posed by the response Of the
total organism mans Whole
body and mind evoke little IN
terest from the scientific COM
munity and are grossly neg
.lected."
Cites Carson Book
It was lack Of basic knowl-
edge about the effects Of
pollutants, he said, which trig-
gered the pathetic contro-
versies" over Rachael Carson's
book Silent Spring"
Lack Of factural informa-
ton concerning the subject

for different scientists 10 hold
apparently incompatible points
Of view concerning the dangers
posed to health by environ

Or. Dubois urged a long
range program Of research Of
various environmental prob
lems-perhaps with universities
teaming up on a regional basis
- share the gres1 expense.

Conclusion
IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dad
Samuel Savage, who passed away
six years ago, September IA.
He was just a plain dear dad
With loving smile each day,
But it brings JOY in knowing
We shall meet again some day.
To those who have a dad,
Treat him with love and care
You will never know his value
Til you see his vacant chair.
Many a lonely hcartachc,
Often a silent tear
What would l give to clasp your
hand,
Your dear sweet face to sec,
To hear your voice, to see your
smile,
That meant SO much to me.
