Mr. Lackenbach states that these bacterial mixtures were prepared for him by E. R. Squibb & Sons. Their sale in interstate commerce is permitted under the license granted to the latter firm by the U. S. Treasury Department. However, no evidence of any kind was presented to the Council proving the therapeutic efficacy of the several mixed vaccines. As a mixture of two or more kinds of organisms is accepted for New and Non­official Remedies only if there is satisfactory evidence that its therapeutic use is rational, the Council declared the several vaccine mixtures ineligible for New and Non­official Remedies (Rule 10).—(From Reports of Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, 1919, p. 90.)
