Take B-1 Before By Frederick C. Othman -

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10—Dr. Frank Shipman, the only man I know who never gets a hangover on the morning after, is losing hope of shipping anti-heebie-jeebie whisky from his Kentucky distilleries. .

The Bureau of Internal Revenue, which seems

to believe that a man who drinks at night deserves later to suffer in proportion, won't let him. Until the government changes its mind and allows his medicated ambrosia to banish the hangover from the land, I don’t intend to touch the stuff with aleohol in it. Too hard on the nerve cells. Dr. Shipman is vice president of the BrownForeman Corp. of Louisville, where he distills against his will old-fashioned bourbon of the best quality, but with incipient hangovers included in each bottle. This saddens him. - “S80 unnecessary,” he said. “I drink enriched whisky, myself, and I haven't had a hnngover in Years,” ;

Discovered While Professor

HIS DISCOVERY of the highball without regrets dates back to the days when he was proressor of che; at the University of Louisville working with vitamins. But let the non-jittery Dr. : Shipman tell his own story: Fie “T had a pet theory (he said) that there were two fundamental causes of the hangover: one was that the alcohol tended to dissolve the cells on the nerve ends in the human system and thereby made it—the system—act jumpy. The other was that a drunk won't eat. And if there's anything he needs, it's food. “Vitamin B-1 seemed to be the solution to both problems. It had the effect of restoring the nerve cells. It also-stihiilated the flow of gastric

= Juices.” So I tried a little experiment.”

He certainly did. He took a bottle of his own

“whisky, stirred Tn an appropriate slug of vitamins,

The post office looked mighty solid and strong. The Chamber of Commerce building to the north was awful far away. So was the street, “One more to 70 and I think we'll be in Mr. Hughes’ office,” Mr. Koenig remarked. “I hope he doesn’t have to use this ladder to get up here,” I snapped. But I'm sure the telephone company will get their president an elevator. William A. Hughes’ office didn't look like much. The air conditioning was terrific. The only heat came from Ermal Jones’ torch as he welded something on the corner overlooking Meridian and New York Sts. Mr. Jones was overlooking so much that I couldn't even look.

He hasn't had any luck on the vitamins yet, but he is not an embittered man. Just hopeless. So it was then that he told me the formula for avoiding hangovers. Anybody, he said, could do it. “Before a large night,” he continued, “just take two Vitamin B-1 tablets of 33,000 units each. You don’t need to mix 'em with whisky. Just swallow ‘em. And you'll feel fine the next day, no matter what.” I don’t guarantee this. I don’t even recommend it. I'm just reporting it.” As far as* I'm concerned, you're on your own, °* !
