For the first time since the Japanese conquest of 34 years ago, there was peace...
...studies seem to show that aspirin's anticlotting properties may prove helpful against heart attacks and strokes. Physicians are not yet ready to recommend a daily dose of aspirin as a cure-all for coronary patients, but the federally sponsored National Coronary Drug Project has started a large-scale study of this possible new use for an old drug...
