OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR FRANCIS G. CAFFEY, SOLICITOR the on FOOD AND DRUGS ACT JUNE 30, 1906 AND AMENDMENTS OF AUGUST 23, 1912 AND MARCH 3, 1913 WITH THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR, Washington, D. C., January 29, 1914. SIR: I recommend the publication of the compilation transmitted herewith of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the amendments thereto of August 23, 1912, and March 3, 1913, rules and regulations for the enforcement of the act, Food Inspection Decisions, selected court decisions, digest of decisions, opinions of the Attorneys General, legislative history of the act and amendments, and other matters of interest pertaining to the act. No attempt has been made to reconcile conflicting court decisions or to inject into the work the views of the administrative officers charged with the enforcement of the act, except as they have been expressed in regulations and Food Inspection Decisions. It has been considered impracticable and undesirable to refer to all of the approximately 3,000 cases under the act terminated in the courts. Only those in which there is an opinion or a charge to the jury are included. This compilation was prepared under my direction by C. A. Gwinn, a law clerk of this office. It is believed that a publication of this character will be of material assistance in the enforcement of the act. Respectfully, Hon. D. F. HOUSTON, Secretary of Agriculture. FRANCIS G.
