Sweat Gland Tranquilization,
Claimed 'Side Effect' of Drug
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York (UPD-p Illus
trating the unknown com
plexities of body chemistry,
one of the newer "tranqui
lizing" drugs seems to impose
so much tran
quility upon
the sweat
glands, the
taker is set
up for a heat
stroke in ex
tremely hot
and humid
weather.
This discov-
Beios sith ery was maae
by Dr. H. F. Ext of the Mid
dletown (N.Y.) state hospital
and caused him to sound an
alarm through the medical
society of the state of New
York. Extreme tranquilization
of sweat glands was a brand
new "side effect" for any tran
quilizing drug. 7
The new tranquilizer which
Ext believed produced it is
"man - made," representing
chemical additions and sub
tractions to and from the mol
ecule of phenothiazine. Its
trade name is "Pacatal" and
try-outs with hundreds of
mental - patients have -shown
it to be an elfective drug. I
But the persons who take
it and the amounts they take
must be watched closely when
the weather is hot and humid,
Ext said. During a heat spell
last summer, there were sev
en cases of heat stroke among
3,650 patients of the Middle
town hospital.
All seven, however, were
among the 23 patients who
were being traquilized by the
phenothiazine derivative. It
should be kept in mind that
they were getting daily doses
much larger than those pre
scribed to tranquilize people
who merely are untranquil
and are not mentally incap
acitated. Like the other tranquili
zers, the precise chemical
ways by which this tranquil
zer produces tranquility are
not known. It acts on the cen
tral nervous system and on
the autonomic nerves. That is
obvious from the effects it
has. Ext reasoned that it also
exerts a blocking effect on
chemical discharges from
nerve ends which have power
ful influence on bodily be
havior. This, he continued, sets up
chemical chain reactions that
led to increases in body tem
perature while at the same
time causing a "breakdown"
of the sweating mechanism"
by which the body eliminates
excessive heat.
Completely Inactive Stale
Heat stroke represents a
complete break-down, he said,
and the sweat glands are
tranquil to the point of not
working.
Ext said all was well with
his patients until hot, humid
weather imposed an .added
load which their heat elimin
ation chemistry could not
bear. His advice to colleagues
was to observe "extreme cau
tion" while treating mentally
ill patients with the tranquil
izer during heat waves, since
the first symptoms can be
overlooked in the mentally
ill.
This caution also was urged
for persons being tranquilized
in tropical climates to which
they are not acclimated. Ext,
mentioned especially mem
bers of the armed forces serv
ing abroad. The dosage should
be reduced, the fluid intake
should be kept high, and ac
tivities should be reduced to
the minimum'.

Medical Researchers Prepare
Major Assault on Alcoholism
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Washington UPI Gov
ernment medical researchers
are preparing to launch their
first major assault against a
disease which afflicts more
than five million Americans.
The disease
is alcoholism.
It ranks with
heart disease,
ca n c e r and
mental illness
as one of the
nation's four
major health
problems.
The govern-
iouis Cassels ment has been
spending millions each year
combat the other three. But
only piddling sums have been
available for research on alco
holism. As a result, medical
science knows little about its
causes, and far less than it
needs to know about treat
ment. Congress is about to change
that picture. Tucked away in
a multi-billion dollar appro
priation bill now moving
through the Senate is a $700,
000 item earmarked for alco
holism research to be conduc
ted under supervision of the
National Institute of Mental
Health.
Although $700,000 is not a
lot of money by comparison
with outlays for other medi
cal research, it is far more that cause one drinker out of
than has ever been invested
before in scientific studies of
the physical, psychological
and environmental factors

15 to become uncontrollably
addicted.
Even more important than
the sum appropriated is the"
fact that Congress is saying
for the first time it wants the
National Institute of Mental
Health to do something about
alcoholism.
In the past, Congress al
ways has followed up this
kind of order by granting
larger appropriations once the
research is underway.
The research funds are in
cluded in a $2,967,955,581 bill
to operate the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare, the Labor Department,
and related agencies during
the 1959 fiscal year starting
July 1.
The bill already has passed
the House and is before the
Senate Appropriations Com;
mittee. Committee, sources
said there is no controversy
over the item for alcoholism.
Divided on Reason
Scientists are sharply divid
ed on why one drinker be
comes an alcoholic and anoth
er does not.
Some, like Prof. Roger J.
Williams of the University of
Texas, believe a physiological
imbalance in the "appetite
regulating" mechanism cre
ates an abnormal craving for
alcohol. If true, it may be pos
sible to work out a special
diet or gland therapy that willg
abolish the craving.
Others - explain compulsive
drinking i n psychological
terms, as a symptom of anx
iety, inferiority feeling or
some other personality con
flict. A third school holds that
excessive drinking over a long
period of time causes changes
In the body go that alcohol as
sumes the characteristics of a
foodstuff required by th
cells.
All agree that it is a treat
able disease and that an
effective medical attack on it
is long overdue.
