> When mum first started work in Pharmacy in Australia (in 1966) she said most pharmacists were still labeling bottles as "The Tablets" or at best "The sleeping tablets" or "The tablets for pain" and the directions for use, actualy letting the patient know what they were taking was considered very cutting edge.

That's fascinating. My Mom was a pharmacist at the same time (she actually worked at a psych hospital!) I'm gonna have to ask her if it was the same practice for her back then.
When you think about it, things have really advanced. I mean it wasn't that long ago that doctors would still bleed patients in an effort to help them. Which of course only made matters worse. And I read that it wasn't until the very late 1800s that midwives would even wash their hands before helping to deliver a baby...and of course, at the time, doctors were not involved at all
