[258] At this time Tyree’s Antiseptic Powder was an “ethical proprietary”—heaven save the mark!—and advertised only to physicians. Later, as The Journal has shown, it entered the “patent medicine” field as “ideal for douche” and the “best preventative known.” The articles on this nostrum are reprinted in the ninth edition of “The Propaganda for Reform.”

[260] The Bayer people may try to convey the impression that “Aspirin” is pure and reliable whereas other brands are not. Since acetyl­salicylic acid is a definite chemical compound, there is no more likelihood of this being sophisticated than there is of quinin being adulterated. Furthermore, the Council in accepting acetyl­salicylic acid for New and Non­official Remedies has provided standards of purity which will insure a uniform product. The brand of one firm—Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Co., of Philadelphia—has been accepted by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry for inclusion in New and Non­official Remedies, 1917.

[261] The following brands of acetyl­salicylic acid conform to the standards of the Council and are in New and Non­official Remedies:

“Aspirin—L. and F.”: Lehn & Fink, New York.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—Squibb”: E. R. Squibb & Sons, New York.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—Merck”: Merck & Co., New York.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—Milliken”: John T. Milliken & Co., St. Louis.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—M. C. W.”: Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, St. Louis.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—Monsanto”: Monsanto Chemical Works, St. Louis.
“Acetylsalicylic Acid—P. W. R.”: Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Company, Philadelphia.
