5、y be particularly good bargains. Nevertheless, sales do offer a special opportunity for sharp practices and shoppers need to be extra critical. For example the “second“ should be clearly marked as such and not sold as if they were perfect. (The term “substandard“, incidentally, usually indicates a m
6、ore serious defect than “seconds“.) More serious is the habit of marking the price down from an alleged previous price which is in fact fictitious. Misdescription of this and all other kinds is much practiced by the men who run one day sales of carpets in church halls and the like. As the sellers le
7、ave the district the day after the sale there is little possibility of redress. In advertising sales, shops may say “only 100 left“ when in fact they have plenty more; conversely they may say “10 000 at half-price“ when only a few are available at such a drastic reduction. If ever the warning “let t

12、f todays ailments, or even illnesses, are purely psychological? And how far can these be alleviated by the use of drugs? For example a psychiatrist concerned mainly with the emotional problems of old people might improve their state of mind somewhat by the use of anti-depressants but he would not re
13、move the root cause of their depression the feeling of being useless, often unwanted and handicapped by failing physical powers. One of the most important controversies in medicine today is how far doctors, and particularly psychologists, should depend on the use of drugs for “curing“ their patients
