HARMFUL HEADACHE DRUGS
SUBJECT OF BULLETIN BY THE
BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY.
Department at Washington Gives the
Testimony of -Four Hundred Ply
sicianS to the World.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Harmful
and dangerous drugs used for head
ache medicines form the subject of
bulletin just issued by the bureau
of chemistry, department of agricul-
ture
Acetanilid, antipyrin and phe-
nacetin (acetpehnetidin) are three
comparatively new drugs which are
widely used to produce insensibility
to pain, and proprietary headache
medicines are very likely to contain
one or more of them. The use of
such drugs without the advice of a
physician is dangerous, since they
tend to depress the heart and the
nerves, and may lead to the forma-
ton OF the drug habit. This is
proved by reports from 400 physi-
clans, made in response to inquiries
from the department of agriculture.
These physicians state that from
1884 to 1907 they have known twen-
ty-eight deaths resulting from the
use of one or another of these
drugs, besides S14 cases of poison
ing and 1876 cases in which the pa
t1ent had formed the drug habit.
with various evil results. In four
teen cases antipyrin was poisonous
even when used externally. Even
supposing 525 physicians who failed
to reply had no cases to report, 3"
says the bulletin, what a terrible
showing would be made if the 1885,
600 physicians in the United States
could all give their testimony"
! OF the 400 physicians acetanilid
| is rarely or never prescribed by PIP,
antipyrin by 307, and phenacetin by
$50. In more than one-half the
cases of poisoning the drug was
taken by direction of a physician, a
fact which leads one to reflect that
| If the physician is likely to have had
results in the use of the drugs the
ordinary man should be doubly eau
tlous in using them unknowingly,
for the national food and drug act
requires that labels of proprietary
medicines containing them shall
show the fact.
The statement of these 400 physi-
clans are confirmed by those of a
committee of the British Medical
Association which Investigated the
matter in 1894. The medical jour
nails also from time to time have
contained articles describing cases
in which the use of the drugs has
resulted badly. Altogether medical
literature makes a showing of thir-
teen deaths and 297 cases of poison
ing from acetanilid; ass cases of
poisoning from antipyrin, and seven
ty cases of poisoning from phenace-
tin.
Physicians are using these drugs
less freely and with greater caution
than when they were first intro
duced. But the general public, on
the other hand, in response to in
genious advertising, seems more and
more to be purchasing headache
mixtures containing these drugs and
! dosing themselves without advice
from a physician. When considered
| in connection with the fact that
cases of poisoning and death have
been more frequent in recent years
| this should lead the common man to
be extremely cautious in the use of
| any remedy containing acetanilid,
antipyrin or phenacetin.
