When a cocktail was the best medicine | Drugs

Regarding Dom Berginon on the prescription (Messages, May 1), When I was a pharmacist in the 1960s, we managed to dispense with a brompton cocktail. This was primarily the alcoholic alcohol in morphine and cocaine, and was used to relieve pain and distress in patients with end diseases. It is stored under the lock and the key. The modest trainees were allowed to assemble it, but only in the eagle presence of pharmacists.

Returning or stopping shoes at home (Poly Hudson, April 30), During a vacation in the Scandinavian countries for several years, I noticed that every house I visited contains a bag of perceived soles in gradient sizes. They were for the guests to use, and they were warm and comfortable. I brought some house and hung them. None of our visitors want to use it and feel a little non -British to indicate that their feet may be dirty.

According to what is reported, the eyes clinics are “water” profits that accommodate the lens of the eye for NHS (The profits of NHS England Care Cougensing like 100 PFI nodes.). I hope this word is deliberately chosen.

Dark chocolate digestive, filled with decent white coffee until the chocolate begins to submit to the temperature, and eat the side of the chocolate down (Messages, May 5). Those who knew that there is any other way to take it.

I eat chocolate digestion in both directions – depends on the end of the package that I open.
