Al those women would get up at 3 o'clock and wait for the doctor. They would get so desperate they would dive off the bed and try to commit suicide, they would be in sich agony they would fight and pound each other; they would run desperately around the ward, screaming for the ‘croaker’; they would grab up pails and beat on them and make so much noise that the warden would have to come; they would even break all windows, they'd get so desperate. “As for the Twilight cure they used up at North Weather Island that was worse yet. Why, I remem- ber one I'ebruary night—it was one of the coldest nights we had, snow on the ground, and the temperature was below freezing—when we heard somebody yell and scream outside. The wirden went outside to see what was the matter, and there he found a woman without a stitch of clothing, who had gone wild from the treat. ment and escaped in a row boat, using a broom for an oar. That Twilight was so terrible that she lost her mind. “I am telling you right now, there is none of that with that narcosam treatment.

There's no more getting up at 3 a.m. waiting and sitting huddled up in blankets on the floor in front of the door walting for the croaker to give them a shot, and then the nurses are so kind and good to us. They just treat us like friends or something, and there's no more of this rough-hand stuff. (Copyright, 1921 el g al other Conmitics by Norih merican Newspaper Allisnce. All rights rescrved.
