In this transcription a black dotted underline indicates a hyperlink to a page, illustration or footnote; hyperlinks are also highlighted in colour when the mouse pointer hovers over them. A red dashed underline marks a hidden comment that can be revealed by hovering the mouse pointer over the underlined text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin. Footnotes are located at the end of the book. The text contains uncommon characters that will not necessarily display correctly with all viewing devices. If some of the characters look abnormal, first ensure that the device’s character encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8). The default font might also need to be changed to a Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS, DejaVu, Segoe UI Symbol or FreeSerif. Small-caps font is used extensively, and specifically in the index to differentiate topics discussed within the text from those discussed elsewhere. Readers using handheld devices should be aware that small-caps font is sometimes lost during conversion of the text to the e-reader format. Chemical formulae similarly might not render correctly on handheld devices The book contains quotations, comments and reports relating to debates between medical authorities and pharmaceutical suppliers, and the text is formatted in such a way (in both the original and in this transcription) as to help readers differentiate the parties to the debates. Thus, text originating from pharmaceutical sources is displayed with a smaller font and greater indentation, while that from medical authorities has closer line spacing and only slight indentation; however, this pattern is not entirely consistent. Inconsistent use of opening and closing quotation marks is as in the original. There are numerous hyphenation and spelling inconsistencies, the most noticeable perhaps being the inclusion or omission of a final ‘e’ from chemical terms such as oxid/oxide. These remain as in the original. A representative list of the inconsistencies is appended at the end of the transcription together with a list of the spelling errors that have been corrected silently. Inconsistent formatting of fractions, e.g. 1-4 cf. 1/4 is as in the original. The text contains various words, phrases and comments enclosed by square brackets. These were inserted by the authors. A few omissions noted by the transcriber have been inserted within curly brackets to help differentiate them – hence {of} {a} {be} {“}. A missing full stop and a missing parenthesis have each been inserted silently; redundant duplicated punctuation (. ,) has been deleted silently; and on page 299 a duplicated phrase has been deleted silently, viz. this dread disease is no longer a matter of doubt." Several large landscape-format tables have been modified in this transcription to fit narrower viewing screens and ‘key’s added to identify the column headings. A mathematical error in Table 2 on page 390 is as in the original – Rat 4 average weight gain/loss should be 2.1 not 2.7. Table 11 on page 444 contains a footnote cross-reference to Tables 8 and 10 but these do not exist. An linked alphabetic table has been inserted at the head of the very long index to help readers search its contents. THE PROPAGANDA |
