“While admitting the great importance of the foregoing points, we are firmly of the opinion that proper medication is a great aid in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, and, with this in view, we offer to the profession Creosotonic (Scott) believing that in it we have a superior preparation for this purpose.” This is unwarranted. Of course suitable medication to meet special conditions is proper in the treatment of tuberculosis, but the routine administration of a complex and irrational mixture such as Creosotonic (Scott) is bound to cause inattention to the prime requisites for the proper treatment of the tuberculous--hygienic surroundings and good food. Creosotonic (Scott) is an irrational mixture, sold under misleading and unwarranted claims. It is inadmissible to New and Nonofficial Remedies for conflict with Rules 1, 6, 8 and 10.--(_From The Journal A. M. A., Aug. 24, 1918._) CAMPETRODIN AND CAMPETRODIN NO. 2 Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry The following report on Campetrodin and Campetrodin No. 2 has been adopted by the Council and its publication authorized. W. A. Puckner, Secretary. The following report of the A. M. A. Chemical Laboratory on “Campetrodin” and “Campetrodin No. 2,” sold by the A. H. Robins Company, Richmond, Va., was submitted to the Council by a referee of the Committee on Pharmacology: Campetrodin and Campetrodin No. 2, Double Strength, are called “ethical medicinal specialties” by the A. H. Robins Company, Richmond, Va., which sells them. An advertisement in the _Maryland Medical Journal_ (December, 1917) contains the following claim for composition: “CAMPETRODIN (Made in Two Strengths of Iodine). This preparation is an Oleaginous Solution of Iodine in Camphor.” A booklet describing the “specialties” of the Robins Company contains the following in reference to Campetrodin: “Composition: Camphor, Iodine Element, Oleaginous Solvent.” From this it appears that the preparations are claimed to contain elementary (free) iodine in an “oleaginous solvent.” Since free iodin, as is well known, readily combines with fats, it was decided to determine the form in which the iodin was present in these preparations. The examination demonstrated that both preparations contained but a trace of free iodin. On steam distillation there was obtained from both preparations a distillate amounting to about 35 per cent. by volume which had an odor strongly suggestive of turpentine, while the residue contained the iodin and had the characteristics of an iodized fatty oil. Quantitative determinations indicated that Campetrodin contained approximately 0.03 per cent. of free iodin and 1.3 per cent. of iodin in combination with the fatty oil. Campetrodin No. 2, Double Strength, contained approximately 0.03 per cent. free iodin and 2 per cent. of iodin in combination with the fatty oil.
