Thanks but I have always been led to believe that the answer in a cryptic puzzle should be defined somewhere in the clue...where is the definition, or does that rule no longer matter ?

Ah...thanks very much. I have only been doing the Saturday Times crossword for a short time and I am still getting used to the setters cunning little ways !
Sure, a tranquilliser makes you numb. But tranquillisers, plural, are not "a number". Bad clue.
thewordcage - the answer is singular so the clue is fine
tranquilliser is the answer thewordcage
