Hill- eboe, New York State Health Commissioner, announced today the department has been in- formed by the Federal Food and Drug Administration that ure- \theme cough syrup, manufac- tured by Marvin Thompson Inc. of Stamford, Conn, is poisonous when taken in doses prescribed on the bottle labels. Uretheme, according to the food and drug office when taken as recommended, may cause a dangerous lowering of white blood cell count, leaving the pa- tient more susceptible to furth- er infection. More than 35,000 packages ranging in size from J .fc ounce to 1 gallon have been distributed to physicians, whole- sale druggists, and retail phar- macies throughout the country. Federal seizures are being made and the manufacturer is recalling the syrup from the market. Dr. Hilleboe called upon all drug distributors in the state to check all cough medicine stocks immediately, and with- draw from market all Uretheme found. He also warned housewives to examine home supplies of cough medicine and destroy all of this particular product. free of charge, is my suggestion: quently discourse on said sub- ject.
