 BUREAU OF HEALTH. 



A food law, practically identical with the Federal food and drugs act, was enacted 

 May 18, 1907. This empowers the director of health, the insular collector of customs, 

 and the collector of internal revenue of the Philippine Islands to make rules and 

 regulations for carrying out the provisions of the act. The examination of samples 

 is made in the division of organic chemistry of the bureau of science, which reports 

 the findings to the bureau of health, the latter being the division of the department 

 of the interior charged directly with the enforcement of the law. 



By Executive Order No. 7, dated February 11, 1911, a Board of Food and Drug 

 Inpection was appointed, consisting of a representative of the bureau of health, 

 the bureau of science, the bureau of internal revenue, and the bureau of customs. 

 This board acts in an advisory capacity to the director of health.
