DRUGS AND CONFESSIONS
Sir,-Replying to your correspondent L. Reid (August 6) I did not bring Communism into the discussion on fluoridation. This was done by A.W., and commented on by the editor. I merely used a more apposite reference to benign drugs when used in excess strength. Now that I have been "pinned down" for proof I must. confess I have never seen the drugs actually administered in Russia, nor have I had an analysis made
of the strength of such drugs allegedly administered, Neither have I seen. the other side of the moon, yet I am prepared, on an analysis of the evidence presented to me, to believe that there is one. I do not have to wait for the first "space-man’s" return. Your correspondent’s logic on the Piltdown man appears to run as follows: (1) There is a skull known as the Piltdown man. (2) This has been proved a scientific hoax. (3) Therefore all knowledge is false. And, by the way, has your correspondent ever seen ,the Piltdown skull? And how does he know it’s
phoney?
