Our Christmas: 1945— Dr. Wool Bloomers (on consultation of Dr. MacCatchit). GUARANTEED to cure: picturemania and luvuvjeans after ranchec- tomy. DIRECTIONS: Mi.x a small quantity of powder (not more than 1 10 11 scoop shovels) with enough liquid to make a smooth paste (not less than 33 2 drops). Place 1 3 of mixture on a laporotomy pad and poultice the small finger of right hand. Use 1 3 of remainder (which is 2 9 of original amount) as shampoo for the hair. (This should be done first in case the laparotomy pad should become wet). To the remainder add enough vanilla to make a liniment which is rubbed into the elbow and wrist joints. (This should be done before the shampoo that the arms may be supple and hence the hair well washed). This is to be done at bedtime—the poultice to be removed sharp at midnight, the liniment to be reapplied every 23 ' j mins, throughout the night. No curlers or bobby pins must be used in the hair before 7:27 next evening. ANTIDOTE: In case a baby, a child, an adolescent or an adult (that is a baby girl or a baby boy or a little boy or a little girl or a teen-age girl or a teen-age boy or a man or a woman) takes some of this internally by mistake (it is not supposed to be taken internally) give the following antidote immediately: Whiskers of three grizzly bears chopped finely and dissolved in the vitreous humour of ten fish eyes. Note: If there is none of the above antidote available in your nearest town—salt and water will do. —The Laffalot Drug Co.—Ponoka. 1946— Hazel’s hay fever. 1947— The balloon barrage.
