The Propaganda for Reform in Proprietary Medicines, Vol. 2 of 2

A detailed chronicle of the American Medical Association’s early‑century campaign against dubious patent medicines, this volume gathers the most influential reports and articles produced between 1917 and 1922. Readers will find the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry’s guiding principles, its rigorous examinations of medicaments, and the laboratory’s experimental findings that shaped a more scientific approach to drug therapy. The collection also includes contemporary journal pieces that expose the marketing tactics behind proprietary remedies and the broader medical debates of the era.

Organized into four clear sections, the work presents council minutes, laboratory objectives, and journal contributions on both proprietary products and miscellaneous medical topics. By juxtaposing official findings with editorial commentary, it offers a vivid snapshot of the professional struggle to replace quackery with evidence‑based practice. Scholars and listeners interested in the history of public health, regulation, and early pharmaceutical science will find this compilation both informative and thought‑provoking.
