Cigarettes IKIeaDffliiy -DffYoio Have AsUima, Tlhiey Atropine for the f And onlv with f cigarettes Y4 which have By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (UPD An in ternationally known medical scientist has come out in fa vor of smoking cigarettes health's' sake, but 77 only by per sons who are subject to at- - ' l tacks of asth- uu biawa r ness of breath. y5 4m K v-lbeen; treated Delos smith wiin uie ui u, atropine. Dr. H. Herxheimer, profes sor of medicine, Free Univer sity of Berlin, disclosed ex periments with sufferers from those conditions which vindicated a remedy for the asthmatic attack many doc tors of 150 years ago swore by. Physicians of today never use it, They think they have better remedies. Dried Leaves Remedy That old remedy was the dried 'eaves of the plant, stromonium or Jimson Weed, rolled into a tube and smoked as a cigarette. It worked but no one in the old days knew why it worked. Herxheimer and other scientists reason it worked because Jimson Weed contains atropine. 'Atropine: has . long since been isolated from its , vege table, origins, and purified. It's potent relaxer of smooth muscles, a stiller of body tis sues which are in spasm, and an enlarger of tissues. Atro pine is in the "drops" , with which eyes are stilled and en larged for examination. These are the effects which are wanted in order to relieve an asthmatic attack. .But no medical text book suggest atropine as the remedy be cause when applied to the whole body, either as a pill or injected, it doesn't produce them. Made Special Cigarettes Herxheimer wondered if atropine suspended in smoke inhaled into the entrance exit passages ot the lungs and thus applies locally, would have those effects -since. Jimson Weed smoke had been . so. wholly used once. Atropine cigarettes are not made " commercially. Herx heimer had some made up es pecially. . He tried them out on 29 persons given to attacks of asthma and of shortness of breath. Before they smoked, their "vital capacity" was measured. How much air the lungs can breathe in and out is vital capacity. In the asth matic and short-of-breath, vi tal capacity is distressfully low. , - : The 29 smoked at their own pace, but were " required, to inhale the smoke. When they each had ' smoked one cigar ette, vital capacity was mea sured again. It had increased in all, in a few by just a little bit, in most by considerable amounts, up to 34 per cent. In some the increase was maintained for three hours. Tried Jimson Weed Leaves Herexheimer tried out his patients with cigarettes made of dried Jimson Weed leaves. They didn't work nearly as. well, presumably because the amount of atropine is bound to vary from leaf to leaf. He also experimented with atropine in a y high-pressure spray, t see if atropine could be broken down into as tiny particles that way, as it is by combustion. It couldn't be. He recommended the cig arette smoking to curb mild to moderate attacks of asth m. aand shortness of breath in a report to the British Med ical association. The now widely used drugs, -especially ephedrine, have disadvan tages; one is that the user develops a "tolerance" and so the does has to be increased. Atropine cigarettes produced no' "side effects," but they may with repeated smoking, of course, he conceded. More Liberal Rights Are Given to Vet Students Korean GI veteran-students have been given more liberal rights to pursue advanced training under a law signed last month by the President, S. T. Brannock, contact rep resentative, VA Domiciliary, Camp White, said Saturday. The Korean GI bill allows a veteran to change his course of, study just once. The new law gives a liberalized defini tion of just what is meant by a change-of -course. ' Under this , law, a veteran now may move from one GI course to another, where the first "is prerequisite to, or generally required for" the second, without being charged with his one;and-only change of course, Brannock said. For example, a veteran may set out in GI training with the objective! of getting an AB degree. Later he decides he wants to become a lawyer. Now, he may switch to law studies.vwithout it counting as a course change. The reason is that his 'work toward his AB. degree "is prerequisite to" his study of law, he stated. Before the new law was en acted, the VA had no choice btu to charge a Veteran with a change of course, even if his first course of study was pre requisite to his second. Then, if the veteran wanted to change again, he could not; he had used up his right to a single change.
