...Smythies, 30, has moved to Canada and is working with Dr. Humphry Osmond at the Saskatchewan (mental) Hospital in Weyburn. In the Journal of Mental Science, the two doctors do some close reasoning. Mescaline, they suggest, breaks down in the body; some resulting "M substance" (chemically related to adrenalin) upsets the brain's sugar consumption and brings on split-personality hallucinations. Similarly, perhaps, stress of the type that brings on schizophrenia upsets the adrenals, and they liberate "M substance...
What Pinay proposed to do was neither world-shaking nor highly original, but in the way he proposed it Frenchmen found adrenalin for their flagging spirits. He brought France its first right-of-center government since the war, forming it out of a hostile and mistrustful Parliament, without the help of the vacillating Socialists.

Like a chameleon on a piece of Scotch plaid, the patient has a complex pattern of response. Several of the endocrine (ductless) glands go to work. The adrenals pump out both adrenalin and cortisone-like hormones. Both lobes of the pituitary step up their activity. So, probably, does the thyroid. Triggered by these hormonal reactions, about which much is yet to be learned, the body's chemistry changes in a dozen ways...

There was no perhaps about it. Dr. Michalek had given tenfold doses of methadon to both Clifford and Mrs. Pearson. He injected antidotes, and stimulants (oxygen, Benzedrine, adrenalin) were given later in Dakota Hospital. But within 24 hours of what started as a routine experiment, Dr. Michalek stood by Clifford's bedside as he died, then at Mrs. Pearson...
