Abstract
FOR the guidance of general practitioners, hospitals and drug manufacturing houses, an official committee composed of recognized medical authorities, acting under departmental ægis, has compiled a list of drugs the importation of which is considered unnecessary. It is suggested that drugs on this list should be used with the strictest economy while the War continues. The purpose of this recommendation is to support the Government policy to cease using cargo space and foreign currency to import drugs which are not essential in war-time or for which substitutes can be obtained at home.
