# Vintage "Pharmacy Law Digest" 1974-75 Edition by Eugene L. Kaluzny
**Publisher:** Douglas-McKay, Inc., Milwaukee, WI (1974)
**Format:** Textured Black Hardcover with Gold/Gilt Lettering
A fascinating historical look into medical jurisprudence and pharmaceutical regulation from the mid-1970s! Written by attorney and registered pharmacist Eugene L. Kaluzny, this comprehensive reference book was a vital text for scholars, practitioners, and pharmacists managing regional compliance across state lines during a monumental shift in federal drug enforcement.
This specific edition includes a crucial operational notice highlighting the July 1, 1973 transition that abolished the Federal Bureau of Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs (BNDDD) and formed the modern Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The book splits regulatory frameworks alphabetically by state (featuring detailed sections on Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Florida, and more) covering control laws, licensing mandates, labeling requirements, and historical liability cases. It is a fantastic acquisition for law libraries, vintage book collectors, pharmacists, or as a distinct piece of mid-century office decor.
