The Carolina Journal Of Pharmacy Vol 39 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 20: January, 1939; Man of the Year in North Carolina Pharmacy About December 10 we received word about a model state act to supplement the Federal statute enacted last Summer by the Congress. The copy of this model uniform act was drafted by a committee of Food and Drug officials and it was our opinion that the proposal was unwise in that it was not uniform in several respects with the Federal Act. After studying the various proposals, we used up our entire editorial space in an effort to analyze the probable dangers we would encounter if we lent our energies in supporting a statute that does not conform to the interstate act. At the time we wrote the editorial material, we were in the midst of a very busy season and unpardonably we failed to keep fully abreast of other developments that were taking place in respect to the proposed act that had been sent to us. The developments in question consisted chiefly of a well considered, thoroughly debated uniform act that was adopted by the National Drug Trade Conference at its annual meeting in Washington on November 15. This material came to us in plenty of time to re-create our lengthy editorial, but we simply overlooked it and this failure not only caused us to use midnight oil in analyzing critically the first proposal, but when we did discover that the drug trade had a good substitute, we had to tear up our previous copy, and then set to work to write additional matter to take its place. It is not necessary for us to submit to readers the details of the plan adopted by the National Drug Trade Conference, and so we shall merely present these facts: "Uniform State Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act" "Proposed uniform wording for Sections dealing with Drugs, Devices and Cosmetics, and advertising of the same, to be incorporated into appropriate State Acts for the purpose of achieving the maximum degree of uniformity between the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all State Acts bearing on the subject. "Prepared by the Committee on Uniform State Drug and Cosmetic Laws of the House of Delegates of the American Pharmaceutical Association, approved by the Council of the A. Ph. A., and approved also by the National Drug Trade Conference which includes the following organizations: "American Pharmaceutical Association "National Association of Retail Druggists "National Association of Boards of Pharmacy "American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy "National Wholesale Druggists Association "Federal Wholesale Druggists Association "American Drug Manufacturers Association "The Proprietary Association "American Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association."
