OCR: W. B. O'Shaugnessy was a thirty year old physician stationed in Bengal, an Indian province. He noticed the use of hemp in Indian medication. Indian doctors used hemp extracts to successfully treat various illnesses as yet untreatable in the western world, e.g. tetanus. O'Shaugnessy started to experiment on patients and animals and himself, writing several medical papers on hemp extracts.
