Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Choice B is correct. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1911, in United States v. Johnson, that the 1906 Food and Drug Act did not prohibit false therapeutic claims, but only false and misleading statements about the ingredients or identity of a drug. In 1912, Congress went further and en-acted the Sherley Amendment to prohibit drug labels containing false therapeutic claims intend-ed to defraud the purchaser.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The medieval period began during the 1200s AD and lasted through the 1800s. During these 600 years, many myths and superstitions about hygiene and health existed. A balance of four body fluids, or humors, were seen as essential requirements for life: fire equaled yellow bile or chol-er, water equated to phlegm, the earth to black bile, and the air to blood.
