| It would be a good thing for the world at large,
however unprofessional it might be, if medical men were required by law
to write out in full the ingredients named in their prescriptions. Let them

and form their letters as if they had been to school one day in their lives,
so as to avoid the possibility of mistakes on that account. - "Damages Awarded," San Francisco Morning Call, 10/1/1864 |
