Personally, I have my doubts that there is any appreciable danger associated with the use of such preparations* I am asking your advice on this be cause the question has been put to me as chairman of the Qommittee on Pharmacology and Posology of the National Formulary; it has been suggested that possibly we should put a lead limit on medicine sold in ampule form I would appreciate any comments which you might care to make With many kind personal best wishes to you and Doctor Deichmann, I am Cordially yours, < p * /..
