Says Dr. Harry Robinson Jr. of the University of Maryland Medical School: "If the diagnosis of athlete's foot is correct-and often it is not-then treatment with Tinactin is 100% effective." The colorless, odorless, stainless liquid has no known side effects, and it works as well on nearly every other form of external fungus infection.

...atom contains only one proton and one electron, which makes it the lightest element known to science. It is completely colorless, completely odorless. And it is that ultimate simplicity that has earned for hydrogen some of the most sophisticated jobs in modern science. Refrigerated into a liquid state, hydrogen is helping physicists to peer into the heart of the atom, to trace the fleeting histories of the smallest building blocks of matter.
