On the recommendation of the referee, the Council declared Creosote-Delson and Creofos inadmissible to New and Nonofficial Remedies, for conflict with the rules as follows: _Creosote-Delson_: The information so far available is not sufficient to define the nature, or composition, of Creosote-Delson, or to indicate in how far this product differs, if at all, from the official creosote (conflict with Rule 1). No methods are furnished for determining the identity or composition of Creosote-Delson (conflict with Rule 2). The available information does not show that Creosote-Delson has advantages over creosote (conflict with Rule 6). _Creofos_: The composition of Creosote-Delson not having been furnished, the statement concerning the composition of Creofos is also unsatisfactory (conflict with Rule 1). The therapeutic claims are unsubstantiated and grossly exaggerated (conflict with Rule 6). The name is not descriptive of its composition as is required for pharmaceutical mixtures (conflict with Rule 8). There is no evidence that hypophosphites prevent decomposition of creosote (if this occurs). Hence the inclusion of hypophosphites must be considered irrational (conflict with Rule 10). The Council’s report was sent to the Delson Chemical Co. for consideration. The firm’s reply contained nothing to warrant a revision of the report, and the Council voted that Creosote-Delson and Creofos were inadmissible to New and Nonofficial Remedies and authorized the publication of this report.--(_From The Journal A. M. A., July 7, 1917._) TRINER’S AMERICAN ELIXIR OF BITTER WINE Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry Triner’s American Elixir of Bitter Wine is a wine to which bitter drugs and laxatives have been added.
