MEDICINE LABELS
MUST SPEAK TRULY
Misbranding OF Hundreds OF Alleged
Cures Corrected By Ten Years OF
Food and Drugs Act.

Ten years ago there was no ailment TO
which human flesh is heir that some
maker OF patent medicines did not claim
TO be able TO cure with such ease that II
seemed almost the height of foolishness
not TO part with the price Tor his nos
| trums.
To-day. because of the operation Of
the federal food and drugs act the eX-
travagant promises of cure that charac-
terized the labelling OF the patent medi-
zines of ten years ago have practically
disappeared from the preparations that
enter interstate commerce They may,
however, still be found in newspaper and
other advertisements that are not subject
TO the act. The pure food law" as II is
known. is concerned only with the pack
age As it is shipped in interstate com
merce. If one questions the truth of a
newspaper advertisement of patent
medicine let him read the label on the
carton or bottle at the corner drug store.
The latter will come nearer telling the
truth about the medicine.
Misbranding, in regard to healing value
of hundreds of alleged cancer cures, So
called "cures" for coughs, colds, con
sumption, kidney diseases, epilepsy, st.
Vitus' dance and the like, have been cor
rected. This is told in the annual report
of the bureau of chemistry, United States
department of agriculture, which reviews
the operation of the food and drugs act
in the safeguarding of the health of the
American people.
The law requires the labels of patent
medicines to declare the presence of any |
habit forming drug, such as opium, CO.
caine, or alcohol. thus preventing the in
nocent development of the drug habit
This provision of the law is particularly |
valuable in warning mothers against the
use of so-called infant soothing syrups
containing opium.
When the act went into effect, drug
addiction was so prevalent that frauds in
the treatment of the victims were fire.
luent and in most instances the remedy
advertised so forcefully by the labels
contained the very drug from which es-
APE was desired.
In 1907. the bureau of chemistry found
hat 80 soft drinks contained small
amounts of cocaine. Practically all of
,hese were suppressed. The food and
lrlgs act is regarded as having been an !
important factor in bringing about pas f,
age of the Harrison anti-narcotic law,
which more effectively controls habit
orming narcotics.
Much has been done, the report says,
o control the indiscriminate use of so
allied headache remedies containing dan
erous, depressing drugs, and OF danger
us cosmetics making claim to healing
aue and in raising the quality of the
upply of crude drugs through the exam
nation of imports. As result of CO.
work with the postofiiee de-
artment, number of fraud orders were
sued by that department preventing the
Sc of the mails in promoting the sale of
fraudulent medicines.
