Condizione: Very good. First printing. Inscribed first edition of the "most important book ever written in America to protect American citizens from fraudulent practices against their food and drugs" (Clinton R. Miller), written by the first commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. The self-published account of one of the most consequential consumer protection laws ever passed in the US - the 1906 Food and Drug Act - written by one of its most famous proponents. Wiley details the battles and opposition to the law (both historic and ongoing), as well as arguing strenuously for strengthening the act's enforcement mechanisms. As writer Deborah Blum noted in her 2018 biography of Wiley: "When the landmark 1906 Food and Drug Act was finally passed, it was known across the land, as 'Dr. Wiley's Law.'" This copy was signed on the last day before Wiley's retirement from public life, which was widely announced in newspapers nationwide as commencing on Jan. 1st of 1930. An interesting copy of a significant book. 8'' x 5.25''. Original black cloth with gold stamped titles. xiv, 414 pages. Inscribed by Wiley on the title page: "To Mrs. S.W. Davidson / With the sincerest re- / gards of the author / Harvey W. Wiley / December 31st, 1929." Spine titles faded. Some fraying to cloth at head and tail, rubbing to joints. Slight lean, minor shelfwear. Overall, sound. Signed.

Title continues: "The Amazing Story of the National Food and Drugs Law Intended to Protect the Health of the People Perverted to Protect Adulteration of Foods and Drugs." Harvey Washington Wiley (1844-1930) was an American chemist who fought for the passage of the landmark Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 and later worked at the Good Housekeeping Institute laboratories. He was the first commissioner of the US Food and Drug Aministration (FDA). As Wiley died shortly after the publication of this book, signed copies are probably very rare.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. MANY are the letters received in regard to the cereal breakfast foods, especially for children's use. One mother writes me: "Two small youngsters are anxiously awaiting your opinion in regard to their favorite shredded wheat, grape nuts, and post toasties." With few exceptions, a general statement will serve to give the facts in regard to all of the leading brands of cereal products and breakfast food's sold in packages. They are nutritious, cleanly products, containing the greater part of the nutriment of the grain and in some cases all of it. They are put up in a sanitary package and are convenient, and afford variety. This item is printed on demand.
