LETTER OF SUBMITTAL. 



U. S. DEPARTMENT OP i TLTURE, 



DIVISION OF CHE%I&TRY, 



Washington, J). C., June 14, 1893. 



SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a complete copy of all 

 pharmaceutical laws now in force in the several States and Territories 

 and the District of Columbia. 



There are no laws on this subject in the following States and Terri- 

 tories: Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and the Indian 

 Territory. The Maryland law relates only to the city of Baltimore. 



The thanks of the Department are due to the officers of the various 

 tate pharmaceutical associations for prompt compliance with 

 requests for information, and it may not be out of place to add that 

 these gentlemen, comprising a most important element of our popula- 

 tion, almost unanimously evince great interest in the work undertaken 

 by the Department in investigating adulteration, and seem anxious 

 to see uniform laws enacted to prevent such practices. 

 Eespectfully, 



ALEX. J. WEDDERBURN, 



Special Agent. 

 Dr. H. W. WILEY, 



Chemist.
