Free Talking Information obtained while under the drug's Influence is used to make the person understand and solve his problems: the "free talking'' induced bv the drug gets the patient's problems "off his chest": the drug caused calm helps the nervous per sor "get a grip on himself ": and suggestions passed to the drupped pMient are retained subconsciously when the serum wears off. The treatment, which requires about a year, is given in connection with the conditioned reflex treat ment which makes the patient sick at Ihe smell of alcohoL The latter is similar to giving a small boy a cigar to end his desire to smoke. A drug, meantime. Is injected by hypodermic. It makes a person sick any time his stomach is Irritated. Then the person is given large quan. titles of liquor. The result, generally, is a lasting dislike for alcohol. Dr. Walter L. Voegtlin, the sani tnrium's chief of staff, estimated that about 30 per cent of alcoholics stem from nervousness.
