Alameda County office said the teller was shown pictures of Murtagh and was he was the robber Voice Of Experience Tells LSD Danger By Dr Peter Steincrohn CURIOUS ABOUT wrote an 18-ycar-old a few weeks ago just like to take it once for fn a column I replied that curiosity killed the cat and for some LSD users experimentation was just as dangerous But I have found that straight talk from one youngster to another is often more efficacious than another from a doctor Here then is a note that may be more effective in dulling the curiosity of some younger thrill seekers: Dear Dr Steincrohn: I am replying to the 18-year-old anxious to try LSD I wish I could write directly to her and tell her about my experience with some of the arguments I could give now after being a LSD still in my 20s been through it and I know from personal experience the horrors of the delusions the paranoid fantasies the long periods of real depression and the months it took before I really had control of my mind again It was a long time before they would let me out of the hospital Your language is much too mild You should tell a youngster can lase your mind and body You should say "You can die a thousand You should tell him (or her) jumping off a bridge or slashing wrists might be safer" How much stronger can I put Miss DEAR DR STEINCROHN: A member of my family and several friends are wearing copper bracelets hopefully to slow down the progress of arthritis One friend whose hand was crippled badly was able within six months to play golf again and has no pain Will you please comment on the phenomena wrought by these little copper bands Can they be purchased in the United Mrs Me Comment: written about this before but am happy to repeat Any effort is worthwhile that will help to blunt the promises of quacks who sell these (and scores of other) trinkets There is no scientific evidence that wearing copper has any beneficial effect upon arthritis The one friend who was apparently helped would have improved without the band More have done better on aspirin or nothing at all except the passage of time Dixon VIRGO (Aug 23-SepL 22): Keep your plans to yourself Put your main effort into
