DEADLY DRUGS FOUND IN SOME BEAUTY AIDS Lead and Mercury Poisoning May Come From Use of Cosmetics. Thi I* tb* second of a terien of six articles on the Copeland Pure Food and Drue bill. The Third will appear tomorrow. P,]f Rdmcr Berrien WASHINGTON, Dec. 12—Depilatories that make you bald, eyelash dyes that make you blind, hair restorers that endanger your health with lead poisoning. These are some of the perilous stuffs that you can have on your dressing table now. byt which you will be protected against, if the new Copeland food and drug bill is enacted into law by the next congress. Such deadly drugs are not at all universal among cosmetics. The older, more reliable cosmetic manufacturers realize that it is not good business to have their customers poisoned or disfigured, and strongly reprobate the “chiseler” concerns that enter the market with poisonous beautifiers, sell a lot of them by means of a powerful campaign of advertising, and then fold up and vanish with their swag, leaving the more decent firms to bear the burden of public disapproval and suspicion for acts of which they never were guilty. Some Poisons Little Known Some of the poisons used in illegitimate cosmetics are little known and seldom used; others are as old as the Borgias and return to the market again and again under different aliases. Among the less known of these harmful substances is thallium acetate. It was used not long in a depilatory cream, which no longer is manufactured or advertised, although stocks of it still exist on drugstore shelves and jars still stand on dressing tables. It was a most effective depilatory; it not only removed superfluous hair, but it got into the blood stream and attacked hair wherever it found it. Many of the unhappy users of this preparation lost every hair they possessed. Before a flood of damage suits, the manufacturers of this disfiguring stuff hastily quit business, leaving no assets against which judgment could be levied. Aniline Perils Sight Another poison, even worse in its effects, is a certain aniline dye, still used in one type of eyelash stain. If it accidentally gets into the eye, it. may peel off the first coat of the eyeball, and perhaps also '-he second, even causing total blindness. It also may cause horrible disfigurement of the skin around the eyes. More familiar and more commonly used poisons are lead compounds. used in hair restorers, and mercury salts, used in skin bleaches. These may work their way through the skin and enter the blood stream, which carries them to the internal organs. Lead and mercury both cause extremely stubborn and highly distressful poisoning, which may result fatally in aggravated cases. Chemists at the food and drug administration of the department of agriculture smile a bit grimly over the irony of warning motorists against letting even a small quantitv of lead-containing gasoline get on their skins, only to have them go home and put a lead-containing hair remedy on their heads.
