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.

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.
