7. directions he wrote, "Put two drops in right ear every four hours" and he
8. abbreviated "right" as an R with a circle around it.  Several days passed, and the woman returned with her baby, complaining that  he baby still had an earache, and his little bottom was getting really

10. had typed the following instructions on the label:
