Didn't know about that one. Bradasol's were popular because Ciber Geigy were based in Horsham, must have bought a job lot of them.

Their successors, Novartis are still there...

Balmosa was probably Tommy Scott's era rather than Hoskins so before your time. It was the cure -it-all of the sixties at CH!

Never heard of 'em !!!

I remember Hoskins getting the whole school to have flu jabs as part of his "research".

I also seem to remember getting paid for it, a fiver or so.
