At least that's the authorized opinion of Doctor Henry Grady Waddell, university physician. "About this time last year," 5e informed us, "the infirmary had a fu epidemic on its hand:. But t'se worst we've had this year wa the usual out break of colds." Whereupon the genial physician leaned back apd knocked on wood. "Yes," he continued, "except for the football injuries and these gals turning their ankles dancing, we've had a pretty easy time. Everyone's feeling fine. except the doctors and nurses." We asked Dr. Waddell why patients always seem to wind up with a package of A.P.C.'s when they visit the infirmary. He took a puff on his cigar and thought a little bit. "Well, if they have a cold, we give them the tablets and if we don't exactly know what's wrong with them we give them A.P.C.'s anyhow. I've got to give them something, y' know, or else they say I'm no good. 1 think we'll start painting the aspirin tablets blue, pink, and purple. That ought to break the monotony. The patients might think they're getting something new." During the course of our chat with the. Doctor we found out, among other things, that A.P.C. stands for a chemical formula and nlot, as one student stubbornly in sisted, for All Purpose Capsules.
