Abstract
A MEMORANDUM on “Economy in the Use of Drugs in War Time” by the Therapeutic Requirements Committee of the Medical Research Council has been issued as an official publication. It is based on the provisional lists circulated last autumn, a summary of which appeared in NATURE (October 12, 1940). These lists have been thoroughly revised and greatly extended. Some five hundred drugs are classified into three groups: (1) essential or readily available; (2) essential for certain purposes but in the use of which strict economy should be observed; and (3) not essential.
