Those medicines, which are labeled with stimulating Chinese words such as “wang” (king), “ba” (domination), “shen” (spirit), “ke” (conquer) or “sha” (kill), are almost all bogus ones.

(3) Manners of distribution: generally speaking, medicines that need sales promotions such as symposiums, sodalities or recommendation are often bogus. Furthermore, the same thing happens when shoppes are set up in a drugstore, only empty boxes are put on the counter and medicines that are not what the customers originally want are provided.
