TO AMEND DRUG LAW.
congressman SherIey Introduces Reso-
luton in the House.

Washington. June 2O.-Representa-
tive Sherley of Kentucky today intro
duced an amendment to the pure food
and drug act providing that false and
misleading statements as to the cura-
tive value of a medicinal preparation
on patent medicine labels be prompt
ed. The bill is designed to strengthen
the law following the recent decision
by the United States court in the
Johnson case in which it was held
that patent medicines were misbrand-
ed "only where misleading or false
Statements were made on the labels as
to the quality, quantity or purity OF
the ingredients"
to make the pure food law embrace
those cases Of interstate shipments or
worthless medicines and drugs fraudu-
Ientlv held out to the public as pos
sessing curative properties.
The amendment adds a new para
praph defining as misbranded drugs,
packages or labels bearing any state
ment or design regarding the curative
or therapeutic effect of such articles
which may be false or fraudulent.
