hours of entertainment from some little round pills

October 2nd 2006 11:39
does anybody know what "headwind" is? how about "wry mouth" or "slanting nose?" if you suffer from these, speak to me because apparently i have the cure. if you know what they are, also speak to me because i'm intrigued.

cleaning out our medicine cabinet i came across these pills:


and they've given me hours of entertainment. not because i've taken any, i'm too scared to do that. because of the description on the label:


that's a pretty terrible photo so i'll tell you what it says: "Gastrodia 'Headwind' Tablet" with the "Active Principals" of "Gastrodia Elata," "Angelica Pubescence" (!) and "other costly Chinese herbs."

they're for the treatment of "headwind, headache, high blood pressure, hemiphlegia, numbness of extremities, wry mouth and slanting nose"

i thought about sending them to rove's "what the?" or vice mag's "tidbits" but i'm not sure i'm ready to part with them just yet...

my new favourite phrase: angelica pubescence
