able 10 answer questions put to him
! by the members of the Board. In
other words the Board practically
played horse" with Harrison.
| Before leaving, Mr.. Wilmington
threw out the suggestion that if the
Board required Poison labels put on
Liquozone bottles before they could be
sold from drug stores. the only re-
course the company he represented
would have. was to sue the members
of the Board, individually. Any alarm
this statement may have caused, Mr..
wilmington alayed, however, by say
ing that this would be an extremely
! undesirable method. He stated, that
he did not wish to be understood as
meaning that the Liquozone company
contemplated bringing any such pro-
as he knew, lay in this course of ac-
ton.
President Pinkham presided, and in
attendance were members Dr. Judd,
DR.. Wayson. F. c. Smith. a. Fernan-
dez, Secretary Charlock, Territorial
Chemist r. A Duncan, Deputy Attor-
ney General Fleming and attorneys
Wilmington and Harrison.
Mr.. Wilmington in opening said he
had been requested by Mr.. Stratton of
San Francisco, attorney for the Lii
quozone Company on the Pacific Coast,
to appear before the Board of Health
here for the same company. He had
some documents from the Liquozone
people which he would read and pre-
sent. He said he was somewhat ia
miliar with the Pure Food Act, having
introduced it into the California legis-
lature and put it through and also he
had prosecuted some cases under the
Act. 1t requires that goods or sub
stances containing anything deIeteri-
Gus to health shall be covered with
labels containing a description of the
substances. AS far as he had been
able to ascertain there is no provision
in the law here which is similar to
that elsewhere. There was no provi-
sion for labelling a drug Poison I'M
der the Pure Food Act. What the
Board had directed here is to place
a Poison label on each package and
that is what the Board had decided to
stand by, he added.
He called attention to the law of the
Territory, Section 1851 This provides
that no person shall sell or deliver any
deadly poison" unless so labelled. In
other words, said Mr. Wilmington, Lii
quoZone If labelled under the direction
of the Board must be labelled only
Poison" He then called attention to
the regulation of the Board on page
SO of it's booklet, in which a list of
drugs styled as poisons was printed, |
including arsenic, belladona, cyanide, !
carbolic acid, chloroform, sulphuric
acid, etc.
1.-The Board of Health" said Mr. |
cannot enlarge the signif
icance of this act and the phrase
deadly poison
The attorney said that Liquozone
was sold in every state in the Union,
He said he had been
given to understand that the action
here was taken because of similar ac-
ton in San Francisco. Mr.. Withing-
ton protested against the Boards order
as unjust, not only to the proprietors
but to the people, because it desired
% label an article as a Poison when
It does not come within the definition
Of poison. He said the action of the
Board has caused the Liquozone COM
oany much trouble because it's action
vas heralded all over the country and
vas even used in Porto Rico by COM
oetitors of the Liquozone company.
Mr.. Harrison then presented and
az
schoen and Cunningham. Schoen stat
I'd that he was a consulting chemist
n Chicago and in his capacity had
served many corporations. He stated
hat he was now consulting chemist
,or the Liquozone people. Liquozone,
lie swore was derived from gases pro-
1uced from various chemicals and
by processes requiring large
apparatus, and from substances which
contained no alcohol. opium. morphine
)r cocaine. The product had been Civ
IN to animals for test purposes without
my injury to them. It could be taken
n reasonable quantities by humans
germs in the system.
But that affidavit does not state
hat it does a human being any good,
Ices it," inquired Mr.. Fleming
'Oh, yes, it does replied Mr.. With
ngton.
The affidavit of Mr.. Dewitt set forth
hat he was an analytical chemist and
consulting chemist and Liquozone
vas manufactured under his direction.
lie has personally used Liquozone and
Without bodily injury
Mr.. Cunningham said he was
,racticing physician in Chicago and in
904 became connected with the Liquo-
.one company and has made a large
lumber of tests in cases of disease be-
ieved to be OF germ origin. Liquozone
vas administered externally and inter-
tally in germ diseases. It established
proof to his satisfaction that it could
,e administered with absolute safety
Without bodily injury to the tissues of
nen and women. Liquozone used in
ernally has unusual tonic qualities. He
lad used LiGuozone himself and knows
# his own personal knowledge that it
nay be safely administered internally
