"This pocket guide presents a tremendous amount of information on some 1,000 medications in a compact format. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
Praise for the last edition:
"A big plus is the herbal section, which lists the medicines patients are most likely to try on their own, presented in the same layout as the rest of the book....For its size, this book is a valuable re¬source. It takes up very little pocket room, and it is an efficient way to recall details about familiar drugs."--Yale Journal of Biology & Medicine

Drug-sniffing dog requested at Arizona Corporation Commission.
17.10.72
Pierce, a Republican, said he would allow a drug-sniffing dog into his office, but commission attorney Janice Alward advised him that such a search would be legal only in the private offices of those who offered their consent.
Fellow Republican Commissioners Bob Stump and Brenda Burns offered their consent to a search of their offices.
Democrats Paul Newman and Sandra Kennedy remained silent, even when Pierce asked for input from all four of his colleagues during a public meeting Tuesday.
As the commission and Pierce's staff worked Tuesday to arrange for the dog's visit, it remained unclear whether it would visit Newman and Kennedy's offices and, if so, which staff members' offices would be searched, spokeswoman Rebecca Wilder said.
