New PhQrmacopeia
To Rule Out Old
Home Remedies

Grandma's favorite remedies,
many of them used by the old
family physician will find no
place in the new United States
Pharacopeia, as nothing in the
way of drugs will be included
except those of proven efficacy.
Revision of the pharmacopeia
will be started sometime this
week.
Twenty years ago whiskey
and brandy we're voted out as
having no place in the list of
drugs that are supposed to be
good for what ails you and
then when the Eighteenth
Amendment was enacted the
two beverages came back to
take their place among the
healing drugs.
1t is expected that a fight
will be waged by the physicians,
scientists. pharmacists, and bac-
teriologiStS over inclusion of
liquors in the pharmacopeia as
will the suggestion of the drug:
gists that all drugs, extensively
pres Scribed by physicians
whether efifcacious or not, be
included in the list.
