166.The following appeared in a local newspaper.

"People should not be misled by the advertising competition between Coldex and Cold-Away, both popular over-the-counter cold medications that anyone can purchase without a doctor's prescription. Each brand is accusing the other of causing some well-known, unwanted side effect: Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood pressure and Cold-Away is known to cause drowsiness. But the choice should be clear for most health-conscious people: Cold-Away has been on the market for much longer and is used by more hospitals than is Coldex. Clearly, Cold-Away is more effective."

人们不应该被任何人不用医生处方就可以买到的OTC药品Coldex和Cold-Away之间的广告战所误导。每个牌子都指责另一种药会导致某种众所周知的不良副作用：Coldex导致血压升高而Cold-Away导致嗜睡。但对于多数关心健康的人来说选择是明显的：Cold-Away比Coldex上市时间更长而且被更多的医院所使用。显然，Cold-Away效果更好。

This argument concludes that Cold-Away is a more effective cold medication than Coldex. The arguer points out that the tow medications both have their own unwanted side effect: Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood pressure, while Cold-Away cause drowsiness. To support this conclusion, the arguer points out that Cold-Away has been on the market for much longer and is used by more hospitals than Coldex. However, the argument is problematic for three reasons.

To begin with, the arguer concludes that the one reason that Cold-Away is more effective than Coldex is Cold-Away has been on the market for much longer time, but this point is unwarranted and unfairly. No evidence can prove that a medication witch has existing for long time is more effective. Contrarily, as we know, the new medication usually has some new characters and curative effect, which makes it is more effective than the old one. Thus, the arguer should provide more evidence to prove that the Cold-Away is more effective than Coldex.

Next, besides the above reason, the arguer claims that another reason is that Cold-Away is used by more hospitals than is Coldex. There are many other factors could lead to this result but not because of the effective of these medication. It is entirely possible that these hospitals would prefer Cold-Away since it is cheaper than Coldex so that it is more acceptable to patients. And another possibility is that the hospitals do not consider drowsiness an undesirable side of effect, but high blood pressure is harm to some people. In this scenario, perhaps hospitals use Cold-Away for above or other reasons rather than an effective cold medication.

The third problem involves that the arguer points out that Coldex is known to contribute to existing high blood pressure. However, the people without high blood pressure would do not care this unwanted side effect; contrarily, they may worry about the drowsiness. For these people who may be the majority of cold medication users, the unwanted side effect of Coldex would not be the factor of choosing a cold medication. Furthermore, if people whose blood pressure is normal wish to avoid drowsiness, they would prefer the Coldex.

In sum, the arguer’s conclusion is not well supported. To strengthen it the arguer must provide more evidence to support that Cold-away is more effective than Coldex and hospitals choose it for this reason. It would be necessarily for the arguer to consider these situations before we could better evaluate the conclusion.
