A Short View of the Frauds and Abuses Committed by Apothecaries, written by Christopher Merret and first published in 1669, critiques the malpractices of early pharmacists in England. Merret exposes issues such as ingredient substitutions and inflated prices, advocating for physicians to prepare their own medicines as a solution to these problems. This treatise reflects Merret's extensive experience in medicine and highlights the ethical responsibilities of healthcare providers amidst rising malpractice.
