 | | Benzedrine was supposed to be the pep in the German Army's pep pills (TIME, Sept. 14, 1942),* and is indubitably the drug that causes periodic tantrums among college deans when cramming students take overdoses. |
 | | Benzedrine, a chemical relative of adrenalin, also may bring eyes back to normal after the use of oculists' drops, relieves hangovers, clears the brain of mental fog. |
 | | Air surgeons have found that it is often a good idea for every member of a crew on night patrol to carry two five-milligram benzedrine pills, take one if he is mentally exhausted (e.g., in the case of a pilot), two if he is physically exhausted. |
