The Propaganda for Reform in Proprietary Medicines, Vol. 2 of 2

"The Propaganda for Reform in Proprietary Medicines, Vol. 2 of 2" by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry (American Medical Association), is a scientific work from the early 1900s about questionable medicines being sold to the public. It continues the work from the first book, looking at the years 1917 to 1922. The book examines how these medicines were changing, especially the false promises they made about curing people, when many of them didn't even work or were scams. The book starts by explaining the important things that have happened since the first book was written. It shows how the Council wanted to keep doctors and people safe from ads and claims that weren't true about these medicines. It also talks about how the book is set up, with reports that check out different medicines and the rules those medicines have to follow to get approved. The beginning part is super clear that it's important for people to know what's in these medicines and what they really do, showing that the Council really wanted to change things in the medicine business.
