So far as I am known to the American public, I am known as a crusader for the better health of our people. . . . Early in my career I came under the benign influence of the late Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. I was privileged to support him in his work . . . Were Dr. Wiley alive today, I am sure that he would be standing here instead of me.

At the top sits the High Council of the Drug Institute, an association of asso- ciations, formed originally to fight the cut-rate drug stores.
