NAMES" SALVARSAN "606" "ARSENOBEN ZOL"-" ARSAMINOL "-LICENSE TO MANUFACTURE AND VEND UNDER TRADE NAME "ARSPHENAMINE"-"WAR MEASURES"—___ TRADING WITH THE ENEMY.

[Act, sec. 10-Order of Nov. 30, 1917.]

The Federal Trade Commission has authorized the following: The Federal Trade Commission to-day entered orders for licenses to three firms to manufacture and sell the product heretofore known under the trade names of "Salvarsan," " 606," "Arsenobenzol," "Arsaminol," patent rights which have been held by German subjects. The orders for licenses are subject to acceptance and agreements by the licensees to the stipulations made by the commission. Upon such acceptance and agreement licenses Nos. 1, 2, and 3 will be formally granted by Secretary L. L. Bracken, acting for the commission.

Hereafter this important drug will be manufactured and sold under the name of "Arsphenamine."

AUTHORITY FOR ACTION.

The Trade Commission's action was taken under section 10 of the trading-with-the-enemy act, under direction of Commissioner Fort, upon recommendation of C. H. McDonald, Edward S. Rogers, and Francis Phelps, in charge of granting such licenses. The Public Health Service has prepared rules and standards for the manufacture and testing of " Arsphenamine," and will supervise its manufacture, authority having been conferred on the Public Health Service by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the observance of the rules and standards become a condition of the license.

The three firms which will be hereby permitted to manufacture and sell "Arsphenamine" are Dermatological Research Laboratories, of Philadelphia; Takamine Laboratory. (Inc.), of New York; and Farbwerke Hoechst Co. (Herman A. Metz Laboratory), of New York. The original patent for manufacture of what has heretofore been known as "Salvarsan," etc., was issued to Paul Ehrlich and Alfred Bertheim, German subjects, and assigned to Farbwerke Vormals Meister, Lucius and Brüning, of Hoechst on the Main, Germany.

The supply of the drug now licensed to be made in America, up to 1915, was almost exclusively obtained by importation from Germany. It is at present the only known specific for virulent blood poison. From the outbreak of the war importation became more difficult.
