Magnesium pemoline, 100 mg., as compared to placebo, facilitated performance of fatigued subjects required to do repetitious arithmetic problems for 5 hours. It acted like methylphenidate hydrochloride, 20 mg., and d‐amphetamine, 15 mg., by maintaining speed and accuracy near a predrug base line. Smaller doses of magnesium pemoline, 25 and 50 mg., were not significantly different from placebo.
