C. rah. 28. a* ftllows \t ^^ "PUBLIBBBB NSW YOUC CUFF**, "Deor Sir—I wis much Interested In the recent article relative to the Richardson Bill appearing In the columns of your paper. Would say, however, that this Proposed law Is more portenttoui In Its effects than might appear from a gtnrplc pcnwal of Its text Krhe passage of this bill would strike the knell of the proprietary manufacturing busi- ness In all It* forms. It Is purefy and simply a piece of class legislation, fathered by ithe American Medical Association, and designed to favor the pbyelclan at the ex- pense of everyone clac. It applies not only to medicines, but to cosmetics as well, and affecta the Interests of every person ranking, sellljig or using such products. "While thin Mil could only affect such products ns enter into inter-State commerce, its passage would be quickly followed bv legislation In the different Statea along alml- lar lines, as wae the cane with the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, lOW, and It would be only a question of n very little time before Its application became universal. Things are flied In the different States hy the virions medical associations to force such bllU through as "soon ns they have the entering wedge driven hy the paisage of such a na- "TJnfalrnem and selfishness- stick otit of every lino of the bill. It Is bad enough In its restriction of the manufacture and sale of medicinal and cosmetic preparations to the druggists and the phyflldant alone; It li worm In Its prohibition of tho use of alcohol In any such product, and Its condemnation of the use of many of' the best and moat favorably known remedial agent*, bnt It reaches Its climax In providing that no claims for any remedial properties whatever shall be made for such preparations, either en the la.be! or In any advertising matter. With this bill In effect advertising, as ap- plied to medicines and cosmetics, would be- eon* a loat art. "The widespread popularity of your paper puts yon In position to do much toward pre- venting tho passage of the proposed law, and I trust you will use this lnflnonc*. "The entire theatrical profession If af- fected by this bill, is well as the medlcln* men. Its application to cosmetics u well •• mm S)t mcdtclnct wa« designed to destroy the enliu proprietary Industry at one swoon and ie»»! everything In tbe hands of the doctors tJI provision aa to allowing druggists to mann facture and sell product* does not mean nno thing, as they arc prohibited from uslnc in gredlents of any vnluo and also from fch> any advertising. In short, the bill was de signed to knock the ready-made products en tlrely off the market and to force the nubile to go to tbe physician for anything in im. line that they might require. m "Tho druggists of the country arc nuttln. up the hardest fight of any class against th5 panago of the law. They understand that the Inclusion of themselves among thone who were permitted to manufacture and sell metii cine* was simply an attempt on the part of the doctor to curry favor with them nnd overcome the strong objections they would put up to the passngo of any soch bill not according them ihls privilege. Bnt they were not to be gulled by any such pretended Mend ship, for they well realize that their turn would come next, and that when the doctors had forced them down to depending on pre- scriptions for their entire Income that the next move would be for ench doctor to buv a peck of pfnk pills and do his own dis- pensing, leaving them out la tho cold alto- gether. "Every maker, seller or user of cither medi- cines or cosmetics, should Immediately write their member of Congress, protesting aimlnnt the passage of any^ such bill. They should alio Induce their friends to do tho same thing, and use whatever influence tboy may possesa with the newspapers to see that the mstter rets an airing, and that It Is placed before the public In Its proper light, if the public generally realized what the real Intent ■nd purpose of the proponed law was, the flood of proteits that would descend on Con- gress would necessitate sending their mall by freight and the employment of a dozen secretaries by each member to handle his correspondence. The bill would be so deeplv burled beneath the tusiw of public disapproval that It would take ten yeara forlts friends and advocates to dig It out. The time to check such proposed legislation is «t Iti very Inception, and not after It has been placed on the statute books and becomes in fore*. Yours very sincerely, "W. fc. Cpmmimot."
