Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Chemical Laboratory of the American Medical Association, Vol. 14: January December, 1921 The Chemical Laboratory of the American Medical Association was established in 1906 to assist the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association in the investigation of proprietary and unofficial non-proprietary medicinal preparations offered to the medical profession. In accordance with the object of its foundation, the A. M. A. Chemical Laboratory concerns itself primarily with the examination of those proprietary and unofficial medicinal preparations which the Council has under consideration. The Laboratory determines if the claims made for the composition of these preparations are truthful, and, when a product is admitted to the Council's publication "New and Nonofficial Remedies," looks after the establishment of standards whereby the identity and purity of such a product may be determined. In addition to the investigations made for the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, the Laboratory aids The Journal of the American Medical Association in supplying the medical profession and the public with information about the character and composition of drugs. This includes the analyses of proprietary medicinal preparations which are offered to the medical profession and which are not deemed worthy of investigation by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, and the analyses of nostrums ("patent medicines") exploited to the public. Through the columns of The Journal and through direct correspondence the Laboratory responds to requests of physicians for information regarding proprietary preparations advertised to physicians and quack nostrums sold to the public, which have come to their notice. A knowledge of the composition of nostrums, whether offered to the medical profession or to the lay public, is generally a sufficient demonstration that many of the therapeutic claims made for such preparations are unwarranted.
