Facts Not Fantasy By: Jeannie Chantel Graham Wonder Drug Breakthrough for the Aged. French scientists claim that the periwinkle flower can be used to stop, and even reverse the aging process of the brain. This flower, being a common g flower, being a common garden plant, grows in many parts of the world. A new wonder drug known as Vicamine, is extrated from this flower. This drug has actually ^rejuve nated dying brains cells and has successfully used to control advanced aging. Dr. Paul Coupan, Re gional Director of Dausse Laboratories in Toulouse, France, claims that this miracle drug can fight se nility and eliminates diz ziness, bad temper, loss of powere to concentrate, poor memory and fatigue. He and his colleagues per formed a nationwide test in France on almost 700 senility patients. Over 70% of the people treat ed with Vincamine showed improvement. On of the major causes of senility is that the brain cells do not receive the amount of oxygen they re quire , therefore, a degene - ration process takes place, and the cells be come damaged. Vicamine treatment re juvenates them. In 1684, a member of the French Court discovered that an herb tea made from peri winkle flower eased mi- grane. However, it was not until 1956 that a Czecho slovaks scientist prepar ed a pure extract of the drug. In 1962, scientists finally had complete un derstanding of its chemi cal structure. Clinical tests with Vin- camine at Pourpan Hospi tal in Toulouse, Frances were conducted by a neu rologist, Dr. Louis Arbus and he openly has stated that the drug liv v es up to all claims made for it. Dr. George Duche of the French Convalescent Es tablishment in Paris, used the drug and claims that nearly all patients bene fited from it. Here in America the drug is not approved yet - but a lead ing U. S Drug Company is at presnet studying the possibility of putting Vin- camine of the American market. If this comes to pass, a bottle of 20 Vin- camie tablets will cost a- round $6.00, the usual do sage being 6 tablets a day. In considering the fact that here in America people suffering from Geriatric probles Geriatric problems are either hospitalized or tranquilized, Vincamine therapy will cost far less and do much more for pa tients in the long run.

And the bar manager of the Powder Puff is our own lovely little Rita. It's been said that Rita should have been a social worker and that statement is true. Whenever Rita sees someone in trouble, she tries to help in her own special way. And, be lieve me, she’s helped a lot of people. Rita started bartending about fourteen years ago when she was putting her self through nurses’ train ing. After school, she found that nursing wasn’t for her, so she went back to her work behind the bar. Born and raised in Day tona Beach, Florida; Rita has four daughters and two grandchildren. She hasn’t been gay but a little over a year and there is reason to believe that she really loves Carol. What brought her to the gay bar scene? Kate did and her biggest enjoyment is watching female imper sonators and getting to know and. of course, help ing those who cross her path. A true Capricorn, Rita is set in her ways and she enjoys reading detective stories and sewing. She also loves animals. She has an English sheepdog named Shag and a black cat named Sosha. So, if you’re ever in the n e i g h b o r h o o d of th the neighborhood of the Power Puff, don’t look for a little white haried old lady behind You will find Rita, though and you’ll probably love her as we do. Oh----by the way—Rita is not a bartender--she’s a mixo logist. Theabans Motorcycle Club Elects Officers Miami -- The Thebans Motorcycle Club elected Marty Rubin President at their Feb. 3rd meeting.
