Alexander Fleming and the Story of Penicillin (Unlocking the Secrets of Science)
$25.70
The book is short, well written, but there are three serious errors.

On page eight, the author confuses streptococci with staphyolcocci. The author gets it backward, bescribing staphylococci as if they were streptococci and vice versa.

The author does a good job of describing Edward Jenner's observation that milkmaids, prone to developing the relatively trivial ailment cowpox, did not contract the potentially lethal disease,smallpox. Coxpox was the first vaccine.I was disappointed then, when the author described Erlich's "606" magic bullet as a vaccine. Erlich's medicine killed the germ that causes syphilis, it didn't immunize against syphilis.It was not a vaccine.

On page 54 the reader is told that Edward Jenner injected "weakened bacteria" and prevented disease. Vaccinia is not a bacterium, it is a virus.

These objections are fussy.Scientists and physicians need to be fussy. You want your surgeon, your infectious disease consultant and your family doctor to be fussy.

I've decided to send this book to my granddaughter with appropriate corrections in the margins. Perhaps the most important meesage in this slender little volume is that she can't believe everything she reads, even if it's published.

Before you take ANY drug please read up on the potential side effects, because some of them are VERY serious and irreversible.

The only difference in scripted or not is how it is packaged for consumption. Pet packaging guidelines are more lenient or lax than meds packaged for human consumption.
Think about this carefully if you have any allergies to common packaging items because it won't be listed on the ingredients necessarily even though it could be in the pill. Possible example: in human consumption your plant is allowed 2 rat terds per vat, whereas in animal consumption your plant might be allowed 100 rat terds per vat. See what I'm saying? They also won't necessarily report nuts or starch fillers in the mix or whatever they're mixing into it accidentally or on purpose.
