Scholarly Definitions of Rhetoric

Plato: [Rhetoric] is the "art of enchanting the soul." (The art of
winning the soul by discourse.)

Aristotle: Rhetoric is "the faculty of discovering in any particular
case all of the available means of persuasion."

Cicero: "Rhetoric is one great art comprised of five lesser
arts: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and pronunciatio."
Rhetoric is "speech designed to persuade."

Quintillian: "Rhetoric is the art of speaking well."

Francis Bacon: The duty and office of rhetoric is to apply reason to
imagination for the better moving of the will.

And much more.......

For several formulations yes, but some formulations have increased liver
damage risk.

Niaspan which I believe needs a prescription is your best best if you
do not or cannot use immediate release niacin.

Slo-niacin and Niacor etc. are some of the formulations associated with
increased hepatotoxicity.

Try this link it has general risk statistics and comparison of various
formulations:

(not sure if it is open access or not - I get access to many things
because I am at a University).

If you cannot access I will try and find a highlight but what I posted
essentially covers everything you need to know (sustained release/long
acting associated with hepatotoxicity). Extended release i.e Niaspan
and immediate release generally considered safe.
