Sun,—Leslie Adrian has attacked drugs and their vendors with the
linesse of a blunderbuss. He writes of 'fashions' in drugs, ignoring the fact that some of the been recent ones have saved lives which would have "ce.n lost even as short a while ago as the year in Which you, sir, were born.
He shoots at the 'cure-all names and claims' on the containers of medicines, apparently without realising that such descriptions arc banned by the Pharma- ceutical Society's Codc. And is Mr. Adrian really qualified to argue that Mag. Trisil Compound BNF has the same action as 'over thirty (branded) dyspepsia relievers"? As for his suggestion that there are differences in the approach of independent and multiple chemists to the ,branded name question: 1 believe there are, but your contributor has done an acne-over-zoster tumble about it.
