...sure cure for ulcers has not been found, but doctors are still looking. In the past 50 years, doctors have recommended at least 46 different kinds of diet, and 108 different drugs, vitamins, sex hormones, etc. The newest suggestion, made last week: cabbage juice...
Bustling about in her monkey-fur jacket and top-heavy hats, her pince-nez perched precariously on her thin nose, Impresario "Cissy" Schultz has long been as much a part of Seattle's musical scene as the musicians.

But since many of them read more as though they were written by L'il Abner, the Committee should be getting a much larger clientele...
