This document discusses the history and development of drug regulation in the United States. It notes that current drug laws trace back to the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906 and the Harrison Act of 1914. The 1906 act was intended to ensure drug purity and honest labeling under the Department of Agriculture. The 1914 act aimed to restrict opioid and cocaine commerce through taxation under the Treasury Department. Over time, laws and the FDA have imposed greater requirements for pre-market testing, approval, and proving drug safety and effectiveness.

Introduction
Introduction
At the turn of the 20th century, there were few federal regulations to protect the public from
dangerous drugs. Many harmful products were freely sold, such as William Radam’s Microbe
Killer and Benjamin Bye’s Soothing Balmy Oils to cure cancer. As is sometimes the case, trag-
edy brought about the first real regulation to protect consumers health and safety. The Bio-
logics Control Act was passed in 1902 after two incidents involving the deaths of children
caused by contaminated vaccines. The law mandated producers in the U.S. to be licensed each
year for the manufacture and sale of biologics such as antitoxins, serum, and vaccines to pre-
vent future tragedies from reoccurring. That was followed by the Pure Food and Drugs Act in
1906, which prohibited interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated foods, drinks,
and drugs and mandated strict health safety and testing policies. The law was passed mainly
in response to shocking public disclosures of unsanitary conditions in meat packing plants, as
well as fears over poisonous preservatives and dyes in foods.
However, the 1906 law had its shortcomings and the government’s hands were tied when it
came to preventing the sale of medicinal products that carried wild claims of health cures.
In 1910, the government stopped sales of a product called Dr. Johnson’s Mild Combination
Treatment for Cancer, but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the company because the prod-
uct’s false claims were not within the scope of the Pure Food and Drugs Act (Meadows, 2006).
As a result, in 1912, Congress passed the Sherley Amendment, which prohibited labels on
medicines that fals.
IN THIS SUMMARY
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has significant reach in the American economy, ranging from medicines and medical devices to items on the grocery store shelves. Since its inception in 1906, the agency has faced a variety of technical and political challenges. Looking ahead, the FDA faces many new demands that could enlarge the agency’s already expansive mandate. New responsibilities may include the cost of medicine, consumers’ pursuit of perfection through drugs, consumer lifestyles, tobacco, and counterterrorism. As the nature of public health changes over time, it is inevitable that the FDA’s scope and responsibilities will change as well. In Inside the FDA, Fran Hawthorne explains the history of the FDA, how its processes work, and what the future may hold for this government agency.
