But le maintains the sale of tranquilizing pills must be curbed "to prevent grave physical and moral damages to society." Addressing 500 doctors at a special audience the pontiff approved the use. of drugs to relieve pain even though they shortened life. But he satd the drugs must not "prevent the carrying out of other moral and religious duties." The Pope based his 45-minute address on Questions posed last fall by the Italian Society of thi Science of Anesthetics. He said "Particular circumstances can impose another line of conduct but the Christian's duty of renunciation and of interior purification is not an obstacle to the use of anesthetics." Calling on public authorities to regulate the sale and use of tranqullizing drugs, he said that a person who iiseo them improperly "cannot complete his daily work it he remains continually submerged In a twilight state." He added: "It follows then that he cannot upset or suppress his consciousness only to obtain pleasant sensations even if he seeks only a certain euphoria (sense of Facts show that of stupefiers (nar- well-being) the abuse colics) leads to total oblivion of the most basic needs of persona! and family life."
