at great cost to your
health. To boot,
your symptoms will tend
to worsen if you do not
act quickly. Dr. Ball’s
results gives you a bang
for your buck. Two teaspoons
a day of this secret solution
will cast out those cruel,
insidious villains. Step
right up. We are offering
this amazing product at
a reduced price for today
only. Say goodbye to bruises
and lack of energy. First
thirty customers will receive–
absolutely free–a recording
of Dr. Ball singing holiday tunes.

    It is curious isn’t it that no matter how well off developed nations are are there is always some belief in a remedy or quick fix that can be achieved to cure all ills without much effort.
