and sold without hindrance at the
average drug store.
Almost all headache powders
contain one Of three or four coal
tar products, such as acetanilid.

ing to Dr. M P, Ravenel of the de
partment OF preventive medicine Of
the University of Missouri While
these vary somewhat in their poi
sonouS properties. all Of them pro-
duce similar effects in over dose,
or when taken over long period
OF time They generally affect the
heart and circulation. and perhaps
the most common symptom of
poisoning by these drugs is blueness
OF the skin, affecting first the lips
and mouth. the nails and finser
tips. but if taken IA larger doses the
skin Of the whole body. 1t is caused
by destructive changes in the blood
which are serious and are always
followed sooner or later by pallor
shortness of breath. palpitation of
the heart, muscular weakness and
disinclination to exertion.
Up to the end of 1907 there were
oo5 cases of poisoning with %
deaths recorded, due to these drugs.
Inquiries made by the Department
of Agriculture of the United States
obtained from 400 PHI sicians the
records of Sl4 additional cases of
poisoning with 20 deaths In ad.
dtion to this many people acquire
the habit, the greatest number Of
these being due to acetanilld. so
that up to the end of 1908 we had
already collected 1869 cas.s of
poisoning with So deaths. and 169
cases Of drug habit These inQui-
ries also showed that in a great
majority of cases the remedy was
taken for headache. This is espec-
tally true OF aCetanilid. We have
also the records of a number of
cases of poisoning in which acetan-
Hid had been used as local rem
edy or dressing for cases of burns
and other injuries.
- The worst feature Of this whole
business is that the advertise
ments almost invariably claim
that these headache remedies are
free from danger, and unsuspectine
persons take them without any
suspicion of the risk they are run
ming
The lesson is plain one The
sale of these drugs should be re.
stricted by law, and until this is
brought about, persons should not
take this class of drug except on
the advice and under the guidance
of competent physician. The
old adage should be remembered
that he who treats himself has a
fool for a physician and a fool for
a patient.
