Prolonged Taking Os Drugs Harmful Proof Is Presented On Rot Experiments By DELOS SMITH United Tress Science Editor NEW YORK (UP)-In rats landpresumably in people, too) the prolonged taking of certain drugs which are in common use causes brain and nervous system damage from which the rats never recover. Proof of this was presented to the current fall meeting of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Curt P. Richter of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Dr. Richter cited indirect evidence for a presamption that what these drugs did to rats, they are capable of doing to people—if taken steadily over long periods. But people can't be experimented with as rats are, of course, and so those ultimate—and dread-ful-effects on people are presumed rather than proved. By Prescription Only Although in commqn use, all the drugs belong to chemical families for which all physicians have the greatest respect They are “prescription drugs" strictly, and any physician who prescribed them for prolonged use would not only be considered incompetent by his colleagues but also out of his head. The chemical families were: (1) the sulfa drugs, represented by sulfamerazirie; (2) drugs which suppress secretion of the thyroid gland, represented by propylthi curacil and thicuracil; (3) the barbiturates <which often are prescribed as sleeping pills,) represented by barbital; <4) feverreducing drugs represented by aminopyrine: (5) sex hormones represented by estradiol and progresterone. The one thing these drug families have in common, in the main, is that all act on the system of internally secreting glands which regulates body metabolism and keep all bodily systems functioning together in harmonious balance. Dr. Richter fed them to rats in doses which were the proportionate equivalents of the doses usually given to people. He maintained these daily feedings for one to four months. These time intervals when translated from the normal life span of rats to the normal life span of people represent two to 8 years in the life of a man. Results Were Disturbing The resulting damage to the rats " was invisible. -Indeed* the ■rats seemed to be normal. But when their activity and food and water intakes were measured over long periods, the damage was evident in a “marked disturbance" in the harmonious functioning of their bodily systems. For 14 to 58 days the animals would run incessantly in their treadmills, and eat and drink enormously This cycle would be succeeded by a cycle of almost total inactivity, and food and fluid intakes dropped drastically. That cycle would be ended by a return. to the first. “Such cycles have never been seen in a normal rat," said Dr. Richter. He suggested that the damage most probably had been done in the hypothalamus which is a regulatory section of the brain that many scientists believe is the boss of the whole system of internally secreting glands. Either cells of the hypothalamus had been hit directly by the continuing intake of the drugs, or they had been exhausted by their efforts to restore the harmonious balance disturbed by drug intake, Richter suggested. Mrs. Lawrence Beal, bookeeper for the Adams county memorial hospital, underwent major surgery at the hospital this morning. She is reported in satisfactory condi-? tion. Mrs. Emil Steffen, of route 4, was admitted to the Bluffton Clinic hospital Sunday for treatment. Clyde Shady, of Bluftfbn route 4 was admitted,Jo the Clinic hospital Saturday for treatment. Ed Neuenschwander, of Bluffton route 4, was dismissed Saturday and Mrs. Melvin Mailer, of Bluffton route 4, was dismissed Sunday from the Wells county hospital, where they received treatment. Jayson Miller, of Berne,® has pledged Phi Delta Theta fraternity it Butler university. Tom Ehrsam, former basketball star for the Berne Bears, sustained a knee injury while in a practice session last week with the Butler University basketball squad. A sophomore at Butler, and a member of both the basketball and baseball squads of the university, Ehrsam will submit to surgery Wednesday at St. Vincent’s hospital in Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. W. Guy Brown spent Monday in Indianapolis. Good Boy KEARNEY, Neb. -4ffl — A Mike Minor, eight appeared at police headquarters and told the desk sergeant he had broken a street light while playing baseball.
