...article on mercurochrome. Readers are likely to be left with the impression that the red dye has been shown to be more efficacious than tincture of iodine as an antiseptic. You fail to state that when drug-buyers ask for mercurochrome, they are not getting the tincture, which Miss Hill described as being more bacteriostatic than a 7% tincture of iodine.
