✦ Synopsis

What do a cup of coffee and cockroach pheromone have in common? How is Fix-A-Flat like sugarless gum? Is a Slim Jim meat stick really alive? If I Can't Believe It's Not Butter isn't butter, what is it?
All of these pressing questions and more are answered in This Is What You Just Put In Your Mouth? Based on his popular Wired magazine column What's Inside, Patrick Di Justo takes a cold, hard, and incredibly funny look at the shocking, disgusting, and often dumbfounding ingredients found in everyday products, from Cool Whip and Tide Pods to Spam and Play-Doh. He also shares the madcap stories of his extensive research, including tracking down a reclusive condiment heir, partnering with a cop to get his hands on heroin, and getting tight-lipped snack-food execs to talk. Along the way, he schools us on product histories, label decoding, and the highfalutin chemistry concepts behind everything from Midol to Hostess fruit pies.

Committee reports. Report on patent law

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.
