URINE, you’re out.
Friday’s Dispensary Corner
generated a flurry of creative

One well travelled pharmacist

Kentucky still use fresh cow
manure (yes, just walk through

tells us that his father and fellow
soldiers in WW2, as well as he
in his own national service days,
used their own urine to cure their
foot tinea.

thought her daughter’s bulging
stomach was due to pregnancy,
but received a shock when, upon
defecation, she released a bowl
full of tape worms.
