G_STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25 1937. “Pulse of Insanity” Discovered In Cure for Dementia Praecox BY the Associated Press. ‘WORCESTER, Mass., February 25. ~—Science now can obtain electrically evidence of the insanity induced by dementia praecox. A “pulse of insanity” flowing from the brains of persons with this dis- ease is reported at Clark University and Worcester State Hospital. The pulse is an irregular voltage of electricity. It is reported as the first definite sign found in medical history which consistently foretells the ap- proach of this, the worst type of in- sanity. It has been used to forestall relapses of insane persons under treatment. The pulse was found by Hudson Hoagland, professor of general physi- ology at Clark University, and Dr. Morton A. Rubin, research associate in physiology. Co-operating was Dr. | D. E. Cameron of the research staff, | | Worcester State Hospital. Waves Come From Brain. The electrical waves come from the brain cortex, or covering, in the back of the head. They are picked up by fine wires pasted to the scalp. In normal persons these waves flow about 10 a second, each wave ranging from 20 to 50 millionths of a volt, but in the insane the voltages are higher and longer. Occasional single waves last a third of a second. The waves, however, do not indi- cate that the seat of insanity lies in the back of the head. The Clark scientists report the waves are “due to excess voltages that sweep across the brain from various areas not im- mediately under the recording elec- trode.” The excess electricity itself is not necessarily the cause of the insanity, for a similar extra electrical pulse often appears in the sleep of normal persons. This may mean, however, that the dreams of sleep and the wak- ing “illusions” of the insane are very similar. The Clark scientists at pres- ent interpret the excess voltage of the insane as a sign of mental disorgani- ration. Vary your Lenten meals with the appetizing goodness of Ritter Spaghetti.

Under the new “sugar shock” or insulin treat- ment, they showed improvement. In all, the insane electrical pulse de- creased or disappeared, but of much greater importance was the fact that the pulse reappeared in advance of relapses into insanity. “Its future use,” says a clinical re- port on “sugar shock,” “as a tool in psychiatry and neurology would ap- pear to be very promising.” Weds Man Twice in 50 Years.
