Branding the present food and drug act practically a dead letter, so far as protection from fraud is concerned, the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association has this to say: “The federal Food and Drugs Act, under the interpretation recently given it by the Supreme Court of the | United States, has become practical- 1y a dead letter so far as it affords protection against the fraud and cruelty connected with the exploita- tion of ‘patent medicines.’ As was noted last week, the court has de- cided that the national pure food law does not prohibit false statements on labels pr medicines so long as such statements are confined to curative effects and not to composition. To the average quack and ‘patent medi- cine’ vender, such an interpretation will prove a priceless boon. “It should be borne in mind that the Food and Drugs Act does not re- quire the composition of any ‘patent medicine’ to be printed on the label; it does not even require the presence of any but a very few of the most powerful and dangerous drugs to be made public. “A preparation may contain strych- nine, prussic acid, arsenic or any one or more of a hundred equally dangerous and violent poisons and no mention need be made of the fact on the label. The ‘patent-medicine’ faker cares little about restrictions regarding the coxhpositlon of his nos- trum; all he asks is permission to make any assertion that he sees fit regarding the curative effect of his preparation. The Supreme Court’s decision means that that permission now exists under the federal Food and Drugs Act. “A weak solution of sugar or com- mon table salt in water, or for that matter a bottle of plain water, may now legally be l_abeled: CANCEROID A Positive and Never-Failing Cure for Cancer, Tuberculosis and All Other Diseases Guaranteed by Dr. Quack Under the Food and Drugs Act. N Now they can resurrect their old stock and send out their preparations labeled with the ‘same unblushing falsehoods that were so common before the ad- ’lylng “in_any particulai.’ vent of the pure food law. “Every ‘cancer-cure’ faker, every ‘consumption-cure’ swindler, every medical humbug of any kind or de- scription can now resume his mis- erable trade with a feeling of ‘per- fect security, providing he is- care- ful to make no mis-statement regard- ing the composition of his wretched fraud. And he is not required to say a word about the composition of his nostrum unless it contains alcohol, other eleven drugs or their deriva- tives that are specifically mentioned in the act! “From what has been said, it is evident that an amendment to the Food and Drugs Act is imperative. The law was passed, after years of opposition on the part of food dopers and ‘patent medicine’ fakers, for but one object—the protection of the public health. As it now stands it morphine, acetanilid or one of the|’ cruelly fraudulent claims of the ‘sure-cure’ school of swindlers. cifically prqh!blt every kind of false statement regarding foods or medical preparations. The nmendment; more- over, should be broad enough to pro- hibit /lylng regarding medicines and foods not only on the labels, but also in all advertising mitter dealing with these special products.” CIRC R R R R O IR R OB R I CEOS © POLITICS AND POLITICIANS © POOVOOOOOOOOOOGE A Democratic primary will be held in Mississippi on August 1 to nomi- nate candidates for State offices. At a special election early next year Portland, Ore., will vote on the adoption of a charter embodying the muniecipal commission plan.

Speaker Champ Clark has been en- gaged to deliver the Fourth of July oration at the Chautauqua ' assembly in Webster City, Iowa.

Interest in the Democratic primar- ies to be held in Kentucky on July 1 centers chiefly in the contest for the party indorsement for United States senator. Senator Thomas H. Paynter is a candidate for re-election. His opponent is Ollie M. James, who has represented the First Kentucky dis- trict in the House of Representatives since 1903. y More Gorgeous Than Levee London, June 30:—The Cl troops who came here for the cor‘gl tion from the Owerseas Domini and from India were review King George at Buckingham Palac this morning. The event conclud the long list of coronation cerem nies and festivities which have ke London astir since' the beglnnlns June. The scene on the terrace was brilliant one, the European military: and levee dress being outshone b; the splendid apparel of the Indiam princes. The great lawn below the- terrace was a marvelous sight in red,- yellow, green and blue. The Sikhs, : Bengalese and other Indian continm: gents made a strong contrast to th 4 Kkhaki-clad troops from Canada, Aus- tralia and other parts of the empire.. At the word of command lances, rifles and carbines were grounded, and the contingents, having gone: through some simple tactics and again shouldered their arms, filed past the royal caonpy, saluting their: Majesties and receiving medals com- memorating the coronation.
