MARY REID FOUND DEAD
POOR DRUGS THE CAUSE
Deceased Had Been Taking Headache Tablets which Contained Acetanelid — Was Eighty-three Years and Cousin of D. G. Reid
Mary Jane Reid, an aged maiden lady, residing at 26 South Eleventh street, was found dead at the rear of her residence, at an early hour yesterday morning, by Mrs. Louisa Sadler, who also resides in the same house as did Miss Reid. In his report Coroner Bramkamp said that she had died from heart trouble, superinduced by a quantity of acetanelid, contained in some headache tablets which Miss Reid had been taking for the benefit of a severe headache, with which she had been suffering for several days.
Coroner Bramkamp as soon as he was called, immediately started an investigation and found that she had been taking a number of headache tablets which contained much acetanelid, as a box partly empty, was lying near her bed. The tablets were supposed to have been manufactured before the pure food law went into effect as there was no label on the box to designate that there was such a drug in the remedy. Acetanelid is supposed to be barred from use in all patent medicines and in some cases the manufacturers resort to the technical name Acep-Phenetedin, in order to deceive the public.
Miss Reid was well known and respected throughout the city and was a cousin of Daniel G. Reid. She was 83 years old.
