! national Battalion/Page 121 April Company’s defense hurt in Rely trial Warped United Press International CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A doctor denies accusations by Procter & Gamble that he altered a death certificate so the family of a young woman could blame her death on Rely tampons and claim millions in damages from P&G. Dr. John Jacobs, who treated Patricia Kehm for toxic shock syndrome linked to the use of Rely tampons, told a federal jury Tuesday a P&G attorney falsely accused him of altering Kehm’s death certificate to list TSS as the cause of death. Jacobs’ testimony in the civil wrongful-death trial brought by Kehm’s husband appeared to damage P&G’s defense that either Kehm never had the dis ease or it was caused by some thing other than Rely. Her fami ly’s suit seeks more than $30 mil lion in damages. Kehm, 25, mother of two young daughters, used Rely tam pons for the first time Sept. 2, 1980. She died during emergen cy treatment at Mercy Hospital four days later. Dr. Bruce Dan, who headed the TSS task force at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, emphatically stated in earlier tes timony that Kehm was infected with TSS from her tampon. P&G said she could have been infected by an intrauterine device.
