Synopsis

The-Propaganda-for-Reform-in-Proprietary-Medicines is the first volume of two volume edition published by American Medical Association about Proprietary medicines.  This volume contains four parts titled as Council Reports, Laboratory Contributions, Contributions from the Journal: Nostrums, and Contributions from the Journal: Miscellany. 

Preface from the book:

From time to time The Journal of the American Medical Association has published the reports of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and the Chemical Laboratory, as well as other matter on proprietary medicines. Repeated requests for some of the matter have led to the compilation of “The Propaganda for Reform in Proprietary Medicines,” which, in the present volume, attains its ninth edition.

The seventh, eighth and ninth editions have been compiled on slightly different principles from their predecessors. The therapeutic reform work of The Journal and of the Association’s Chemical Laboratory was at first confined almost entirely to the criticism and analysis of the so-called ethical proprietaries. This was right; the medical profession owed it to the public to combat the nostrum evil within its own ranks.
