CHICAiGO — An operation that j
Dr. J. P. Oreenhili said relieves (
the pain of cancer sufferers was j
described by him before the Chic
ago Medical society as having
been successful in 23 cases. „
Speaking at a cancer sympos
ium he said that the operation
consisted of removal of 'the hypo
gastric plexus, the collection of
sympathetic nerves lying against
the backbone below the stomach.
With the aid of his associates,
nr. H. E. Schmitz, he said he had
brought relief to 23 women suff
ering from Incurable cancer of
the womb. He said the nerves
involved convey sensations of pain
from the lower abdominal regions

Dr. Greenhill emphasized the,
fact that the operation is not a
cure for cancer, but only a means
of relieving pain.
SCIENTIST FINDS 3.2 BEER
IS NOT SO INTOXICATING
(By The Associated PresB)
■CHICAGO — The 3.2 „percent
beer, legalized last April was pro
nounced non-intoxacting in a re
port made public by Dr. Anton J.
Carlson, chairman of the depart
. ment of physiology at the Univer
sity of Chicago, after exhaustive
experiments. ^The scientist has
concluded that the beer will not
cause intoxication “in quantities
which can be consumed with com
fort.”
More than 50 men and women,
ranging in age from 19 to 60 and
in weight from 100 to 233 pounds
have submitted to Dr. Carlson’s
beer experiments during the last
four months. These subjects have
consumed from two to 16 bottles
of beer daily during periods rang
ing from 15 minutes to 16 hours.
They were paid from SI to S3 a
day.
— "It was discovered that people
had to be forced to drink sufflc-'
lent beer to exhibit marked chang
es in behavior,’’ Dr. Carlson said.
"Jhe forced drinking of large
quantities was accompanied bv
such discomfort and nausea as to
make it highly' improbable that,
the people would consume similar
amounts voluntarily.
“Our general conclusion that 3.2
beer is non-intoxicating cannot he
properly understood without ref
erence to definitions of Intoxica
tion upon which the conclusion
was made. The definition used is
