...parade of drugs that will cure a wide variety of man's emotional disorders, increase and prolong his mental efficiency, perhaps decrease his need for sleep? This teaser from the psychochemist's dream world was presented last week by New York's Dr. Nathan S. Kline to a Chicago meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association. Eventually, said Dr. Kline, modifications of existing drugs, and others still to be discovered, should lead to progress in these areas...
EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION : If there is anything to telepathy (which Dr. Kline did not concede), "the possibilities of [developing] a drug which will bring about 'heightened awareness' should not be overlooked...
...since no one as yet has demonstrated a biochemical or physiological explanation."

One woman's depression, which had defied seven years of psychoanalysis and two years of tranquilizers, yielded dramatically to iproniazid. Equally striking is the case of a professor of medicine who suffers from occasional dizziness and constipation on heavy iproniazid dosage, but refuses to cut down because he would rather suffer these than risk a recurrence of the depression that...
