[Editorial Comment.—Was it not in Weir Mitchell’s “Adventures of François” that the itinerant promised to pull teeth without any pain, if the patient would hold absolutely still? And, mirabile dictu, the ones who suffered were those who had not held absolutely still!]—(From The Journal A. M. A., April 7, 1917.)
WHEELER’S TISSUE PHOSPHATES
Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry
The Council held that the contribution from the A. M. A. Chemical Laboratory, “Wheeler’s Tissue Phosphates,” demonstrates that this is a semisecret, complex and irrational preparation, sold with misleading claims concerning its medicinal constituents and therapeutic properties.
The Council directed that the report be included with the Annual Council Reports and declared Wheeler’s Tissue Phosphates in conflict with Rules 1, 6, 8 and 10.
W. A. Puckner, Secretary.
