Malaria drug: cheap and easy will save lives

mixing the Chinese herbal anti malaria medicine with an old standby, letting pharmacists dispense them, and subsidizing the drug so people can afford them (but not making it free, so people think it's useless and throw it away).

It will be used by Bush's 1.2 billion dollar Malaria initiative, the WHO and other groups trying to decrease the 3 million malaria deaths in Africa.
