 BT. Wiley, how ever. was not yet whipped i4e continued to herate benzoate of soda as before, and he was backed up by the American Me8t cal association, 70 American Institute O. Homeopathy. and medical assocla- ton. national, state and local, ali over the country Most important of all was the Association Of State and National Dairy and Food commits siouers. which in 1909 passed rasoiE- tions strongly condemning benzoate Of soda, and criticiging Secrtary Wilson's s attitude. About that time stringent orders were issued mUzziiHS Dr. N Hey The administration of the food law was taken out of his hands and placed in those Of Solicitor McCabe and Dr. Wiley was forbidden to talk for pub licaticn, to lecture on the subject, or even to discuss the natter.

DT. Wiley was present as a delegate, but Secretary Wilson prevented the doctor from speaking. Practically the same tao ties were followed in Indiana, where the manufacturers using benzOat5 are trying to force the sale of their goods over the prshibiton by tho state beard Of health.
