Abstract
THE problem of drug standardization and drug control in a country of the size and population of India is a vast one. In Great Britain, the United States and other progressive countries a general consciousness of the evils of food and drug adulteration on community health and national well-being was aroused nearly fifty years ago, and the authorities took up the responsibility of safeguarding public health and money by instituting adequate control of the spurious drug trade. In India, on the other hand, although the possible injurious effects of the adulteration of foods were recognized early enough, the seriousness of the situation arising out of the indiscriminate adulteration of drugs and chemicals for the treatment of diseases received comparatively little attention, and India came to be considered the dumping ground of all kinds of substandard, mis-branded and poor-quality drugs and pharmaceuticals.
