The ever growing number of modem drugs have also received attention in
the samples submitted and, perhaps contrary to the belief in some quarters,
it is rare for any fault to be found in any of these as regards accuracy of

Nos. 82 and 83 (Tincture of Iodine and Ammoniated Tincture of Quinine)
where older type drugs have been sampled, a fault has been found. Perhaps
this indicates that there is now no demand for such articles and that they
linger on the shop shelves too long.
