In addition to the investigations made for the Coun Cil on Pharmacy and Chemistry, the activities of the Laboratory are directed in many other lines. It aids the journal OF the american medical associa tion in supplying the medical profession and the pub lic with information about the character and composi tion of drugs. When requested, it reviews and veri fies the Chemical data contained in editorials and orig inal contributions. It is often called on for informa tion as to the character and composition of quack treatments and so-called patent medicines. Through the columns of the journal, and through direct cor respondence, it responds to requests of physicians with information regarding the composition of medicines which they prescribe or in which they are interested. During the past year the Laboratory has devoted a large part of its time to work carried out at the request of the Committee on Synthetic Drugs of the National Research Council, and other war - time activities.
