Chapter 7 The Pure -Food and Drug Act of 1906

A major step forward in the control of opiate addiction was taken in 1906 when Congress passed the first Pure Food and Drug Act despite opposition from the patent-medicine interests. The pressures to pass the act were intense-generated by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and his crusading journalistic followers, notably Samuel Hopkins Adams, 1 who were known as "muckrakers."

The 1906 act required that medicines containing opiates and certain other drugs must say so on their labels. 2 Later amendments to the act also required that the quantity of each drug be truly stated on the label, and that the drugs meet official standards of identity and purity. Thus, for a time the act actually served to safeguard addicts.

We voted on this a couple years ago in my county. GE won! What happened was the proposition, prop.H, went on the ballot but it was misrepresented by the proponents. We (the informed) knew that it was whether or not to allow GE in our county, (we grow Rice and Almonds here and lots of em') what the people thought that they were voting for was whether or not to provide money to schools, police and fireman. The GE money people paid for advertising that said in that reassuring voice ", Prop. H will provide the needed funds for our schools and emergency services". The planting of Genetically Engineered crops was never mentioned in their ad spots.Their reasoning was that the sale of these super crops creates tax revenue for the county- ipso facto-money for schools and emergency services. Nice huh? Thing is mysteriously our local bees died two years ago, my buddy lost like 75% of his. Coincidence?
