Rapid Response:

Tea from the Penicillin Teapot

The author kindly reminds us of the remarkable benifits of
penicillin, truely a
wonder drug when it was first introduced. But in my experience, after a
long
day's clinic and ward rounds, a nice cup of Pencillin Tea (PG Tips, Bone
China
cup) is almost as therapeutic, especially accompanied with Drop Scones.

Competing interests:
I have drunk tea from the penicillin
teapot and am grandson of author.
