Secretary Wilson Says Many
Remedies Contain DAN
gerOuSDrugS

WASHINGTON. May "A crusade
has been inaugurated by the Depart
ment of Agriculture against the effects
Of preparations containing drugs in
furious TO human health, and the re-
suits of the Departments investiga-
tions are being disseminated widely in
an effort to put the bulic on its
guard.
Secretary Wilson has issued state
ment in which he warns mothers, in
valids and users of medicated soft
drinks of the dangerous contents Of
many of the infant syrups and so
called remedies and soft drinks con-
tanning cocaine and caffeine.
The statement says: at is almost
unbelievable that anyone for the sake
of a few dollars would concoct for in
fant use a pernicious mixture contain
ing cocaine. but several such mixtures
have been found and their names pub
lished. At the same time list Of
remedies intended for infants contain
ing morphine. codein. opium, cannabis
indica and heroin. which are widely
advertised and which are accompanied
by the assertion that they contain
nothing injurious 20 the youngest babe
has likewise been published.
"As a matter Of fact, numerous in
stances are on record Of babies being
put TO sleep never to wake up again. or,
where they did not succumb. the more
serious effects of infant drug addic-
tion were produced.
"Yet the majority OF mothers, igno-
rant of these facts, continue the use of
these poisons, which. at least. must
leave their impression upon the delicate
organisms of infants and induce tend
encies which may develop into the evil
habit Of drug addiction"
The list which the Department of
Agriculture has prepared contains some
of the soft drinks made of caffeine and
cola leaf extracts. 1t also contains
some Of the harmful nostrums adver-
tised as quick cures for various -
eases.
