After the six points, it states, “Only recognised pharmaceutical drugs may be advertised. ...” A New Zealand magistrate recently pointed out that medical practitioners have no monopoly of the healing art.

Does This mean, then that we in New Zealand are to be deprived of the benefits of such medicaments?— Yours, etc.,^^ June 9, 1943,
