But should we think that an obvious possible bias
would not be accounted for?

One possible explanation is that there aren't too many drugs which a broad
segment of the population want, which they can't get because they'd need a
prescription, which have semi-m
Even under a totally free market system a doctor or pharmacist might caution
a prospective purchaser of V!agra against using it without first getting
