The comparison group. which magma wall selected, shows the same degree of hast @ysfunctinn on most tests. The principal diffsrenaea batween groups are in tests_of mnmory, a greater use a! tobaaco, and enlarged palpable liver sages. These findings are an few as to lead to the conclusion that users do not differ from controls. With scan regard to the . dbnarmalities, raported in 1969 which sparked these stunias, the changes wars nat present in this aamyle of users, nor eantrols.
