These mechanised units, ad vancing sometimes -at X0 ta f 0 miles an hour, penetrated allied territory so fast that they soon were isolated from their bases and supply lines. They had to hold their positions unassisted until slower moving reinforcements eould catch up with them. 8ometlmee that probably meant 41 continuous hours of action and tension, no sleep and an impera tive need for unbroken alertness. Dr. Leaks said. Sosae Isaac Fan Obviously, he added, this was far more than any siseable group of men could stand without some potent fortification of their bod ies. Some of the stronger oaea might keep going that long with out aid but those with only or dinary endurance would collapse. That would mean not only a seri ous and perhaps fatal impairment of efficiency and fighting power but also the addition of a liability helpless men to be cared for on the run. Dr. Leaks said physicians with the panser units probably admin istered benzedrine sulfate or some like stimulant to the men. He described benzedrine sulfate as a plentiful, non-habit formtngj drug with a stimulating .efzect something like coffee.
