Exit Morpheus
In an article written by Henry Knowlton appearing in the March 27, 1940 News, two Detroit doctors said that they succeeded in curing morphine addiction by inducing hibernation or “frozen sleep.” Prior to this, the treatment was used only for cancer patients in pain.
Drs. J.M. Berris and M.K. Newman, physicians at Grace Hospital, declared that a morphine addict was totally cured of her addiction with a three-day frozen-sleep treatment.
