Druggists who carry soothing sirups
such as DR.. Kebler, OF the Chemistry
Bureau, pronounced baby killers are
going to continue selling them just the
same. they declare. The police have
begun an investigation. and the matter
has reached the attention Of the district
attorney, Or. Wiley, head Of the Chem
istry Bureau, and Health Omcer Wood
ward.
DR.. Woodward says these sirups have
been in the market for twenty-five years
or more. and that as long as they keep
within legal requirements it will not be
possible to forbid their sale. The pure
food and drug act prohibits more than
one-quarter of a grain of morphine to
the ounce. not more than two grains Of
opium one-quarter grain Of cocaine, or
two grains OF chloral hydrate to the
ounce.
Over Use of MOrphines.
1t is the claim OF DR.. Kebler and
others qualified to know that some of
these baby slrups contain as much as
one-thirdNof a grain OF morphine to the
ounce. The use OF morphine in their
preparation seems TO be more popular to
the manufacturers.
Almost without exception, the list Of
drugged patent medicines for infants,
printed in The Washington Herald yester-
day morning, have been on the market for
years. Neither the police nor the health
officers can prevent their sale, druggists
claim.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Mayor
Gaynor's condition seemed so much
better at 10 o'clock tonight that
all Of the attending physicians left
ST. Mary's Hospital except DR..
Stewart, and Of the family only
Mrs, Gaynor and Rufus Gaynor re-
NAMED.
There were no alarming symp-
toms, though the patients tempera-
ture was a little above normal Mr..
Gaynor was able to speak with
usual clearness, and when taking
his chicken broth experienced little
difficulty in swallowing.
It was decided that there would
be no operation for the present
Robert Adamson, the MAYORS
secretary, said it was manifestlv
impossible for the bullet that
wounded big Bill Edwards to have
been the one that wounded the
mayor because of the angie al
which it had struck the commits
sioner.
CRISIS DUE TODAY.
There are two contingencies which
might bring about a serious relapse in tho
mayors condition. The first Of these is
sepdcemia. due to infection Of the wound.
If no trace Of this complication appears
with forty-eight hours after the time the
wound was inhicted-lO O'Clock to-mor-
row morning-the physicians may reason
ably dismiss the fear Of blood poisoning
from their minds.
The second factor that woud weigh heav-
ily against the mayors chances Of recovery
if it should appear. is the weakening and
breaking Of an artery. with the conse-
Quent hemorrhages. There is a possi-
bility that one or the other sections OF
the bullet might have grazed an artery.
tearing the wall slightly but enough
10 cause a break under any strain OF
physical effort or through the sloughins
OF Of the blood cIot above the abrasure.
This rupture Of an artery might occur at
any time during the next ten days or two
weeks. and it would be without a min
utes warning.
Under these circumstances It was gen
orally conceded by all OF the physicians
attending the mayor that tomorrow
must come somewhat in the nature Of a
crisis. If il passes without any indica-
tions Of irritation in the wound. the doe
tors will believe that they have Mayor
Gaynor fairly on the road 10 recovery.
Septicemia is by all odds the most likely
complication OF the two that is feared.
Along with to-days developments in
the mayors condition came startling
conjunction of circumstances. which at
tracted the comment OF all who were
following the developments hour by hour
at St Mary's Hospital.
