Medical writing

Alexander Lambert writes to President Roosevelt about various subjects. Lambert inquires whether he should fix Roosevelt’s damaged rifle and talks about a medical article he is writing. Lambert discusses the concerns of several physicians about Congress’s failure to pass the act concerning “food and drug adulterations.” Harvey Washington Wiley, the Agricultural Department’s chief chemist, aggressively supported the act, but Lambert thinks Roosevelt’s involvement is important for the bill to pass.
