EIGHT DEATHS
BLAMED UPON
CURE
Shipments of Medicine
Recalled Following
Outbre ak

CHICAGO, Oct. ID. CUP)-The
American Medical association an
nounced today that eight out of 10
patients given a preliminary elixir
of sulfanilamide have died at Tulsa,
Okla, and that the manufacturer
is attempting to recall 375 shipments
of the medicine.
The associations laboratories be-
gan careful chemical tests" to de-
termine whether the deaths were
due to an error in manufacture, de-
composition of the sulfanilamide in
the presence of another substance
in the elixir or the effects of one
of the other components OF the
elixir.
Indeed the possibilities are un-
limited" the American Medical
Journal will say editorially this
week, "sirice here we are concerned
with a preparation not standardiz-
ed by any reliable agency, semi
secret in composition and appar-
emily rushed into the market to
meet an over-enthusiastic recep-
blOll Vi IlCW ICllICuy.
Sulfanilamide has been the SEN
sation of the medical world during
recent months because of a broad
ening field in which it appeared to
be useful, and public interest in
creased when 1t was announced that
sulfanilamide had been used to treat
a sinus disorder of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr., son of the president.
For several weeks the medical
journal has been cautioning against
the dangers of the drug. Several
doctors have reported that patients
treated with sulfanilamide develop
ed new and serious symptoms.
The journal satd mat the elixir
used at Tulsa was manufactured
by S. E. Massengill company, Bris-
tol, Tenn.
Since the patients had been TAX
ing sulfanilamide tablets without
i'll effect over a period of two weeks
and then developed the typical
train of symptoms after taking the
elixir" the journal asserts, "lG would
be clear that the diethylene glycol
rather than the sulfanilamide was
responsible.
The patients all developed serious
symptoms "a to 48 hours after re-
ceiving the substance.
TULSA, Okla, Oct. 18. (UP)-
Authorities today investigated the
deaths of seven persons within the
past six weeks. all of whom phySi-
clans said had been treated with
new drug, sulfanilamide. Six oi
them were children.
w. H. Hartican, federal investi-
gator for the food and drug admin
istration, said an investigation may
require many weeks. Hartican col
lected samples of the drug used and
sent them to government labora-
tories for analysis.
