...what's the secret? Even Lyles isn't entirely sure. The zapped water has been ionized, he notes, and this may account for how it behaves on and in the skin. Stig Friberg, a colloid chemist and an expert in skin structure, suggests that C'watre's technology may alter the properties of the ocean water, which might in turn allow the treated water to better penetrate the skin...
...over its structure. Unseen in its golden hexagonal abdomen were electronic muscles, organs, brains and ganglia, woven together with hair-thin wire.

His mate is a dim, dumb, sensible girl, who pulls up his socks from time to time and does her best to dry his tears of existential anguish...

...This is the important thing. The colloid chemist now steps in where medical men leave off. Sodium rhodanate will minimize the effects of worry and will decrease the effects of nervous breakdowns not caused by pathological conditions. This drug increases the resistance of the living organism to infection by inducing better health. Drugs of this type will not cure progressive lesions and sclerotic conditions; but they will retard the aging of the colloids of the body...
