"Rule  10. — If  the  article  is  patented — either  process  or  product — 
the  number  and  date  of  such  patent  or  patents  should  be  furnished.

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  names  of  members  of  the  Council  on 
Pharmacy  and  Chemistry,  American  Medical  Association : 
Arthur  R.  Cushny,  Ann  Arbor ;  C.  Lewis  Diehl,  Louisville ;  C.  S. 
N.  Hallberg,  Chicago ;  Robert  A.  Hatcher,  New  York ;  L.  F.  Kebler, 
Washington ;  J.  H.  Long,  Chicago ;  F.  G  Novy,  Ann  Arbor ;  W.  A. 
Puckner,  Chicago;  Samuel  P.  Sadtler,  Philadelphia;  J.  O.  Schlotter- 
beck,  Ann  Arbor ;  Geo.  H.  Simmons,  Chicago ;  Torald  Sollmann,

This  proposed  plan,  to  eliminate  secrecy  and  quackery  from  the 
practice  of  reputable  physicians,  has  met,  and  will  continue  to  meet, 
with  strenuous  opposition  and  vigorous  denunciation  from  various 
sources.  Its  ultimate  success  or  failure  will,  and  must,  depend 
largely  on  the  honesty  of  purpose,  good  will  and  assistance  of  the 
pharmacists  of  this  country  who  are  in  a  position  to  inquire  into, 
and  are  in  duty  bound  to  furnish  information  on,  the  character, 
composition  and  nature  of  the  various  proprietary  remedies  that 
are,  or  may  be,  exploited  from  time  to  time. 
It  is  virtually  impossible  that  any  dozen  or  fifteen  men  should  be 
able  to  command  all  of  the  information  that  will  be  necessary  to 
properly  classify  the  numberless  thousands  of  remedies  and  mixtures 
that  are  being  offered,  and  to  properly  safeguard  the  interests  of  the 
public,  and  of  the  professions  more  directly  interested,  and  at  the 
same  time  avoid  any  possible  injustice  to  manufacturers,  without 
the  active  aid  and  assistance  of  all  that  may  be  interested.

It  would  seem  to  the  average  man  of  affairs  that  the  legal  recog- 
nition of  the  diploma  of  a  regularly  chartered  institution  should 
require  no  special  law  to  give  it  practical  effect,  but  pharmacy  laws
