But there was also plenty of talk of deleterious effects. Boston's Dr. Ethan Allan Brown called today's enthusiastic but haphazard use of antibiotics "appalling."

And while no great harm may come of combining two antibiotics within Group II, no real advantage can be expected either; the combination simply works like a bigger dose of either drug alone...
