Pills from Dr. Andreu - Documentation crossed... Lot 488

Pills from Dr. Andreu - Documentation crossed between Juan Andreu and the lawyer Rafael Garcerán. Juan Andreu, son of Salvador Andreu i Grau, famous pharmacist for his "Dr. Andreu's cough pills", worked together with his brother José in the pharmacy and laboratory that his father founded. Letter sent to lawyer Rafael Garcerán on December 19, with the intention of being able to eliminate, or limit, the distribution of the medicine "Dagenan", in favor of his own medicine: "...by chance I have learned that Mr. Javier The representative of the Rhône-Poulenc house, preparer of the "Dagenan" is in Madrid and I have no doubt that it is to register the "Dagenan" and undo the work that we have undertaken.... The halo of cures miracles surrounding "Dagenan" and its clandestine sale in Chicote.... The Union's report must be negative... you will understand, friend Mr. Garcerán, that after what happened I am "scaly" and I fear any new abuse... In addition to looking after our interests, we also defend those of the pharmacists who work with us". Response from the lawyer three days later: "...from the reports collected it turns out that this is a product for which there is considerable demand because it is considered as a true curative... unfortunately it cannot compete with that of the foreigner... believe me, I am extremely sorry for not being able to please you."
