"ROTTEN WRITERS"
* CHEMIST ON DOCTORS. LONDON December 3. The Middlesex National insurance committee has censured a chemist for writing a doctor "a most improper letter" because he was unable to read the handwriting in a prescription. The letter ran: "I can't dispense it because I can neither read nor guess it. Anyway, we are not supposed to guess. As a member of the Middlesex Pharmaceutical committee, I have been trying for years to force medical men who are rotten writers to use typewriters. I guess you come under that rule. It does not seem,fair to your patients to write so illegibly. If the case were urgent you would sign a death certificate." Members of a sub-committee state! that they had had no difficulty in reading the prescription.
