consideration of an article which is in accord with existing rules. Infringements of the rules after acceptance of an article for New and Nonofficial Remedies, or the discovery that the Council’s information was incorrect, will cause the acceptance to be reconsidered. An article is accepted for New and Nonofficial Remedies, and will continue to be included in the book, with the understanding that serious violations of the rules, after acceptance, will be followed by the omission of the article and publication of the reasons for such omission. The Council desires physicians to understand that the admission of an article does not imply a recommendation. Acceptance simply means that no conflict with the rules has been found by the Council. DURATION OF ACCEPTANCE.--Unless an agreement to the contrary is made at the time of acceptance, articles admitted to New and Nonofficial Remedies will be retained for a period of three years, provided that during that period they comply with the rules and regulations which were in force at the time of their acceptance. At the end of this period all articles will be carefully reexamined for compliance with existing rules. Particular weight will be given to the question as to whether recent evidence has substantiated claims as to the therapeutic value of any preparation, this evidence to consist partly of recent statements in the literature and partly of the general esteem in which the preparation is held by clinical consultants of the Council. The reacceptance of articles after such reexamination shall be for three years unless a shorter period is specified. Any amendments to the rules, by specific requirements or by interpretation, which may be made after the acceptance of an article, shall not apply to such article until the period of acceptance has elapsed. At the end of this period the article, if it is not eligible under the amended rules, will be omitted. THE SCOPE OF NEW AND NONOFFICIAL REMEDIES AND APPENDIX.--To aid physicians and manufacturers in deciding what articles come within the scope of this book, or, in other words, to enable physicians to recognize whether an article which is not described in New and Nonofficial Remedies has been omitted because it does not need admission or because it has been rejected, the Council furnishes the following more detailed definitions: OFFICIAL ARTICLES.--_Articles official in the U. S. P. or N. F. do not require consideration by the Council if they are marketed under the official name and if no unestablished therapeutic claims are made for them._
