...patients lived, and none were expected to. Seven were victims of severe al coholic cirrhosis, and the pig-liver substitute worked well for only about six hours at a time, which was nowhere near long enough to let the patients' livers recover. But only two men failed to respond to the treatment, and five came out of their coma long enough to obey spoken commands. One asked for a cigarette on the operating table, and another was coherent for four days...

The work is humorously, but thoughtfully, refreshing...
...trouble is, not all depressed patients respond as well as psychiatrists think they should. It has been suggested that the failures result from an initial shortage of serotonin, and that along with doses of psychic energizers, the thing to do is to supply the brain's metabolic factory with another chemical, 5-HTP, from which it can manufacture more serotonin. This two-drug treatment seemed to work in some cases, but still not as well as expected. Evidently, the reasoning ran, the 5-HTP was not being utilized efficiently...
