Mayo Foundation
Or
What Should The
Drug Addict Do?
I recently read the transcript
of a Modern Medicine interview
with Harry Anslinger, Commis
sioner of the
U.S. Bureau of
Narcotics, on
the problems
of addiction.
He pointed out
a number of
d i f f i c u lties
that his depart
ment has had
to face. In
Alvarez some places
the judges have not been tough
enough with peddlers. In those
cities in which the judges did get
tough, the peddlers fled.
Apparently, there are about
60.000 addicts in this country.
Anslinger says that they are
mainly cencentrated in New
York City, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Detroit, Chicago and
some places in Texas and Cali
fornia. He says the problem is
practically non-existent in the
South, the Middle West, and the
Northwest.
Is it wise to try to cure an ad
dict in his home? Usually, it is
a waste of time. One must have
the man held for a while in a
hospital. Government experts
like to hold him for six months
or until he gets strong and able
to -stand up to strains and temp
tations. The trouble with most
addicts is that they are not well
adjusted people. They are much
like the alcoholic, who, when
ever the going gets rough,
reaches for the bottle. But, as
Dr. Nyswander, who is an ex
pert on addicts says, it is hard
on a man and, in some ways, bad
for him to be locked up for six
months.
There are two fine govern
ment hospitals for the treatment
of addicts, one in Lexington,
Ky., and the other in Fort
Worth, Texas. I once spent a
couple of days at Lexington with
Dr. Vogel and his able associ
ates and was well impressed
with the fine way in which the
hospital was run, and the kind
ness shown the patients when
they were being gotten off their
drug. After they were relieved
of distress, they were put into
shops where, so far as possible,
they were prepared for life out
in the world again.
Dissatisfaction Expressed
Certainly, any man who has
become an addict, and is strug
gling desperately every day to
find or steal the $20 or so he
needs for his peddler, ought to
go to Lexington or Fort Worth
and get off the stuff.
In another interview, Dr. Ma
rie Nyswander, a psychiatrist
who is an expert on addicts and
has written a book, called 'The
Drug Addict as a Patient," ex
pressed her dissatisfaction with
the way in which the addict
problem is handled in the United
States. She does not believe the
handling of all addicts should
have been taken out of the hands
of the medical profession and
given over to laymen.
She is distressed over the fact
that, because of the way in

which the problem has been
handled, there is hardly a hospi
tal in the land beside the two
government ones in which an
addict can be gotton off the
drug. Doctors have been scared
out of doing anything for these
unfortunates. Dr. Nyswander
hates to see the drug addicts
looked on and treated as crimi
nals. As she says, they are pri
marily sick people with a weak
will and a poor nervous system.
Usually they rob only when dri
ven to it by their terrible need
for money with which to buy
the drug they must have.
Dr. Nyswander says it is true
that many of the 'cured" pa
tients go back onto drugs every
so often, but, as she notes, "re
lapse is part of the disease."
Hopefully, she says that "the re
lapse periods get shorter and
shorter as the life of the addict
becomes more productive."
Dr. Nyswander feels, as I
imagine most ' doctors do, that
physicians should have some
thing to say and something to do
about tackling this primarily
medical problem.
Colonic Washing
For the last 50 years, there
have been places in every large
city in which a person can have
his colon washed out. People ask
me whether it is likely to cure
them of their troubles, and if
the practice is dangerous. I know
of no danger, but, also, I know
of little chance that the proce
dure will do good. My impres
sion is that it would be much
cheaper to take an anema 'at
home by ones self. It would save
time and so far as I can see, the
results would be the same.
The idea back of colon-washing
is that people can be pois
oned by the re-absorption of the
foul material held for a while in
the large bowel. Actually, there
is much evidence to show that
such re-absorption does not take
place. Many years ago, when
asked by the journel Physio-

Employment Dips
In Coastal States
San Francisco (01 Wage and
salary employment, excluding
domestic, agricultural and self
employed workers, dropped by
61,200 to a mid-October total of
5,840,000 in the three Pacific
Coast states, according to the
U.S. Department of Labor.
This was about 8,000 more
than the expected seasonal drop,
the department said.
All three coastal states par
ticipated in the monthly employ
ment decline. California, with an
employment of 4,543,600, was
down 33,000 from September;
Oregon's total of 486,000 was
down 16,000; and in Washington
employment declined 12,000 to
total of 810,700.
Four Lanes Due Road Near Roseburg
Portland (IT) The State High
way commission Thursday after
noon approved a $430,000 proj
ect to add two more lanes to
Highway 99 near Roberts Moun
tains just south of Roseburg.
The present two-lane stretch
which is 1.74 miles long, is sand
wiched between four-lane sec

Engineer W. C. Williams told the
commission.
CHARLES WRIGLEY DIES
Chicago (IF) Charles W.
Wrigley, 84, member of a prom

dent of the Charles W. Wrigley
company, died here Tuesday at
a nursing home after a long ill

in outdoor advertising, Wrigley's
brother, the late William Wrig

Wrigley Chewing

logical Reviews to prepare an
article for them on the status of
knowledge in regard to this, I
reviewed the litearture, and had
to report that there was no sci
entific evidence to indicate that
any disease is due to absorption
from the colon. I could not find
any reason for believing that
there is even a headache due to
intestinal autointoxication, and
I found much evidence against
the idea. However, there are
thousands of people who love to
be fussed over and tb have
things done for them in a medi
cal way, and so there will al

A JMusterpte06 EveV by Cadillac Standards I
The magnificent Cadillac car for 1958 is, without
question, a rare masterpiece in all the things that
make a Cadillac ... a Cadillac!
Certainly, it has had no precedent insofar as
beauty is concerned. In its graceful symmetry of
line and in its remarkable. look of statute and
substance, it is in a class all of its own.
Unquestionably, it is without counterpart by the
way of interior elegance. Never before have Fleet
wood coachcraf ters comhined such graciousness and
luxury and spaciousness in a single interior design.
And, most assuredly, it has set its own extraoi
dinary pace in modern motor car performance.
Its dynamic new engine, its more responsive trans
mission, and its new air. suspension, now available
as an extra-cost option, are simply a revelation.
We earnestly hope that you will take the time to
see and drive this extraordinary new Cadillac at
your earliest possible convenience.
Your Cadillac dealer will be delighted to give you
full details on Cadillac's twelve new models,
including the incomparable Eldorado Brougham.
