NEW Zealand residents are being urged to check their letter boxes for random shipments of methamphetamine.
It comes after local police put out a warning that illicit drugs were being posted to the mail boxes of empty holiday houses in the country's Central Otago district.
Police say the owners of the homes are innocent victims whose properties are being used for the drug deliveries which are then being picked up by a local on the ground.
HOMEOPATHY treatments must be labelled to say they do not work, according to new US Government orders.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said if producers of homeopathic remedies wanted to claim their products were effective, they needed to make the scientific evidence available.
If there's no reliable evidence, they must state that.
"To believe homeopathy works is to believe in magic," health policy expert Timothy Caulfield said.
The FTC also wants such products to be labelled with a warning saying they are "based only on theories of homeopathy from the 1700s that are not accepted by most modern medical experts".
