Baloney. To suggest that Bayer Aspirin is better than Walmart's cheapo brands of salicylic acid is absurd.

My Dad's a pharmacist (and he was a pharmacist before they became pill-counters), and he would emphatically assert the same thing, Dr. Bill. He never brought home anything but generic brands for us, including prescription drugs. There's was absolutely no reason to waste good money for a fancy label, he would say. It's all the same, it all works just as well.
"Rose is a rose is a rose..." "A rose by any other name would be as sweet"...and is!
