FOREWORD
THE COUNCIL ON PHARMACY AND CHEMISTRY
The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry was established by the American Medical Association primarily for the purpose of gathering and disseminating such information as would protect the medical profession—and thus the public—in the prescribing of proprietary medicinal articles.
The Council consists of sixteen members, fifteen appointed for a term of five years without pay, and the sixteenth, a secretary, who is also the director of the Chemical Laboratory of the American Medical Association (see [Part II]).
At the present time (1921) the membership is:
C. L. Alsberg, A.M., M.D., Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
C. W. Edmunds, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor.
