FANCY NAMES FOR po1soNs.
Dahser to Health and Life L.urks in Many of the so-Called Head
 ache Remedies.

In his quarterly report on the health of the borough of Chorley, Lancashire. Dr. j. A. Harris, the medical officer Tor the district, calls attention to the lndlscrlminate sale and purchase of the various so-called headache pow ders. He states, says the British Med lcal Journal, that under his direction the county police obtained six or seven samples from the different shops Ill the town and had them submitted 10 analysis. In every case the quan- tlty of the active ingredient was found to be in excess of the maximum dose of the drug allowed in the British phar- macopoeia. These remedies belong to the class of analgesics, the mem bers of the group in common use for the purpose being acetanalide or phenylacetamide, ,phanazonesa and phen- acetin or para-acet-phenetidin. Their properties were fully considered il the section of pharmacology and therapeutics at the meeting at Edin- burgh, where Prof. Stockman (Glas, gow) opened a discussion on the therapeutic Value of Recent Syn. thetic Analgesics; Their Benefits and Attendant Risks" There was a gen. eral expression of opinion that these drugs required to be handled with the greatest possible care, and that 6 slight error of judgment with regard to dosage might be followed by dis astrous results. All these substances depress the hearts action, and in toxic doses diminish the force of the respira tory act. The danger is not obviatec by selling a poisonous drug under { fanciful name.
