Ladd, state food commissioner and chemist, announced Wednesday. Action was taken under the state's newly amended food and drug act after the state regulatory department had allowed manufacturers six months in which to conform to stand- ard requirements, Ladd declared. Re- peated warnings had been ignored in &@ majority of the cases, he said. While the state is cracking down on the manufacturers, it is being as Jenient as possible. To avoid unneces: sary hardship, the companies violat- ing the labeling act have been notified that sale of their products have been halted until such jtime as they ful- fill requirements of the law. The warning ban is being imposed on sin§le stores only, Ladd explained. Is Wide Drugs affected range from those with intensive national advertising campaigns, such as cathartics, mouth washes, salves and ointments, to out- and-out “qi ” remedies from the patent medicine families, The new law under which the state acted is described by Ladd as the most advanced of its kind in the United States. It requires those products)~ the United States “Enforcement of this law will not affect the sale of genuine products,” said Ladd. “It’s the fakes we're after —the fanciful titles that are used to | cloak ineffective and sometimes dan- gerous drugs and drug combina- tions.
