PREFACE
A conservative estimate of the annual expenditure in this country for remedies sold under proprietary- names, and usually of more or less secret composi- tion, is $150,000,000. The actual composition of these preparations, therefore, is of direct public interest.
The federal government, the inspection officials of several of the states, and in particular The Journal of the American Medical Association, have rendered a valuable service to the public by analyzing many of these remedies and spreading the results of such analy- ses on their public records. Unfortunately, however, these valuable records for various reasons are not easily accessible to the general public, and their useful- ness accordingly has been curtailed. The purpose of the present volume is to remedy this difficulty in a measure by compiling an accurate record of published analyses heretofore scattered through the pages of many volumes of some fifty publications. There are about 40,000 of these remedies advertised and sold in this country, exclusive of those of purely local con- sumption, and the present compilation makes no claims for completeness, as only about 2,800 brands are included in its pages. These, it is believed, however, represent the most widely used, certainly the most extensively advertised, proprietary medicines offered to the American public today.
In addition to remedies of secret composition, cer- tain so-called "ethical" preparations (those sold actually or ostensibly for physician's prescriptions) and a number of preparations recognized in the National Formulary have been included in the com- pilation.
[2]
The compiler assumes no responsibility for the cor- rectness of any analyses recorded except those of his own laboratory ; he has endeavored, however, to make a correct and faithful transcription of the published analytical data, and to give a definite and accurate ref- erence to the publication in which each analysis may be found. In numerous instances where more than one analysis of a remedy is reported wide discrepancies in the different analyses will be observed. These dif- ferences in composition do not suggest inaccurate analytical methods but rather indicate actual variability of composition.
The -inclusion of a remedy in the present compila- tion is no indication of its value or lack of value. The analyses are published without comment and without prejudice, and it is hoped that in the present compact form they may prove of use to physicians, pharmacists, inspection officials and to the general public.
The compiler wishes to acknowledge his indebted- ness to Dr. Arthur J. Cramp, director of the Propa- ganda Department of The Journal of the American Medical Association, for his many valuable suggestions and for his generous assistance in the somewhat ardu- ous task of preparing the manuscript for publication.

Curry Cancer Cure
(DR. CURRY CANCER CURE CO., LEBANON, OHIO)
The following analyses of certain of the remedies used in this "cure" were made by the U. S. Government: Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 18 are simply antiseptic substances useful only in rendering surfaces to which they are applied cleanly and free from outside infection. Nos. 19, 21, 24 and 20, 22, and 23 are also antiseptic and the latter three, in addi- tion, contain opium, which to some extent allays pain of the part to which applied, in these cases, the rectal or vaginal passages. Nos. 25 and 26 are simply tonic medicines. No. 17 is a preparation of opium which deadens the system to the sensibility of pain. No. 16, a cocain preparation which relieves pain temporarily by its local paralyzant action on the tissues to which it is applied. No. 15, an astringent which may be used in stopping the flow of blood or secretions. No. 14, a laxative pill of value in relieving constipation, which is quite likely to be pro- duced by the administration of the opium included in the list of medicines. Nos. 12 and 13, merely coverings for holding medicines in
[68 ]
place, inactive medicinally. Nos. 6 and 10 are simple ointments. No. 7, hydrogen peroxid, a cleansing agent. No. 5. This preparation was originally thought to be a mild caustic, but has since been found and is now believed to be a non-irritant iodin preparation and cannot be used to destroy any kind of tissue. No. 2. Crystallized carbolic acid; a dangerous and pernicious substance in the hands of the layman. It is a corrosive poison and while decidedly a tissue destroyer it acts destruc- tively both on diseased and healthy tissue and, moreover, is liable to produce gangrene when applied to ulcerated surfaces. No. 3. Chromic acid in concentrated solution is well known as a caustic and is used to some extent as such, but in the weak solution represented it is very doubtful if this result can be accomplished. No. 4. Concentrated acetic acid in the strength here represented is a strong escharotic and does destroy tissue, both diseased and healthy, and much care must be exercised in its use. No. 1. From the representations made at the hearing it appears that the company depends very largely for results on the preparation known as "Red Ointment." "In conclusion, this office is of the opinion that the nature of these remedies is such that they cannot possibly affect a cure except by the merest chance. They are absolutely worthless for internal cancer. The claims, representa- tions and promises employed in promoting this treatment are false and deceptive." — Nostr. and Quack., 1912, 49.
