...advertisers well know, women buy far more body deodorants than men do. Yet it is equally well known that, while women merely glow, the same occasions put men in a downright sweat. This damp fact has been experimentally confirmed by Dr. James Daniel Hardy and his co-workers at Manhattan's Russell Sage Institute of Pathology.
