Tests on all Anacin-3 capsules taken from 10 Walgreen stores in Austin because of the cyanide poisoning death of a chemistry student last May 21 uncovered no signs of cyanide, officials said. “All of those tests are completed and the results were uniformly negative. No tampering and no poison,” said Bob Henna, director of the food and drug division of the state Health Department. The poison found in the body of University of Texas student Kenneth Wayne Faries, 24, was linked to an Anacin-3 capsule from a bottle he purchased at a Walgreen drugstore, authorities said.
