Neohetramine did show encouraging results last winter when it was elaborately tested, under ideal testing conditions, in Sing Sing prison, in a convent and in a girls' seminary. Of 200 patients who got the recommended dosage, 182 had no colds all winter, 13 mild colds were nipped in the bud, and only four bad colds developed. Among the 300 untreated controls, only 59 were cold-free and 179 had bad ones...

Vulcan ran to father Jupiter like a spoiled brat crying, "I want Mars to keep his hands off her! If he doesn...
