The ninth edition of “Propaganda for Reform” contains a number of new articles, greatly increasing the size of the book. It also contains one novel feature which greatly enhances its value. The index includes references not only to articles in the book, but also to matter on proprietaries not accepted by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry which appeared in _The Journal of the American Medical Association_ and elsewhere. This index makes of this edition of “Propaganda for Reform” a very full work of reference on proprietaries which are undeserving of recognition. It should be understood, however, that not all articles indexed are condemned; some are merely discussed and compared. RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE WORK OF THE COUNCIL ON PHARMACY AND CHEMISTRY Presented at the San Francisco Session and Signed by All the Members of the House of Delegates in Attendance +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | _Resolved_, We, Members of the House of Delegates of the American | | Medical Association, believe that every effort must be made to | | do away with the evils which result from the exploitation of the | | sick for the sake of gain. Earnestly believing that the continued | | toleration of secret, semisecret, unscientific or untruthfully | | advertised proprietary medicines is an evil that is inimical to | | medical progress and to the best interest of the public, we | | declare ourselves in sympathy with, endorse and by our best | | efforts will further, the work which has been, and is being, done | | by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical | | Association in the attempt to eliminate this evil. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I: COUNCIL REPORTS PAGE Foreword 1 Official Rules of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry 3 The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, Present and Future 12 “Accepted by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry” 19 Helping the Council 20 Delays in Passing on Products 20 Cooperation of the Pharmaceutical Houses 21 Budwell’s Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil, Nos. 1 and 2 22 Rheumalgine 23 Gray’s Glycerine Tonic 24 Tongaline and Ponca Compound 26 Alfatone 28 Uricsol 30
