This combination is of acknowledged value in reducing the value in reducing the intes- tinal putrefaction and fermentation, allaying the pain and discomfort of flatulent conditions in the intestinal tract. DOSE.--One or two capsules before or after meals repeated in two hours if necessary. The Gross Drug Company, Inc. 20 Laight Street, New York The Council held this preparation inadmissible to New and Nonofficial Remedies or the Appendix, because (1) the claim “acknowledged value in reducing the intestinal putrefaction and fermentation, allaying the pain and discomfort of flatulent conditions in the intestinal tract” is an unwarranted, exaggerated and misleading claim of therapeutic value (Rule 6); because (2) the name does not indicate the identity of the bismuth salt contained in the capsules, nor declare the presence of betanaphthol and creosote (Rule 8); and because (3) the combination of bismuth subgallate, resorcinol, betanaphthol and creosote in fixed proportions is irrational (Rule 10).--(_From Reports of Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, 1917, p. 139._) DIXON’S TUBERCLE BACILLI EXTRACT AND DIXON’S SUSPENSION OF DEAD TUBERCLE BACILLI Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry New and Nonofficial Remedies, 1917, contains general descriptions of Dixon’s Tubercle Bacilli Extract and Dixon’s Suspension of Dead Tubercle Bacilli; the products of these manufactured by the H. M. Alexander Company being listed as dosage forms. It having become necessary to omit the preparations of the Alexander Company (see page 138) the referee recommended that the general articles of “Dixon’s Tubercle Bacilli Extract” and “Dixon’s Suspension of Dead Tubercle Bacilli” also be omitted. He reported that no other firm appears to be marketing these products and that they had not been shown to be of special value. The Council accepted the recommendation and directed the omission as proposed. In accordance with the procedure of the Council, these have been transferred to the annual Council Reports for reference and appear below. W. A. Puckner, Secretary. =Dixon’s Tubercle Bacilli Extract.=--An extract of tubercle bacilli dissolved in normal saline solution.
