What a week!

theriac can be an antidote for citizens suffering
from senectitude to use as a prevenient for senile symptoms and melancholy and bring back the prelapsarian days. Only for those who are not faint of heart and bravely face the loss of sight, hearing and a small list of other minor 'discomforts.'
I look at the future with great confidence
( ban from my mind the bucolic setting of a wheelchair or maybe I'll go for the weak heart)

And keep some pet vipers for diacritical use.
