  Ship's Doctor : [recording his notes]  Patient Jeffrey Brooks, professional writer, travelling on world cruise with his wife, Sandra. Couple married four years. No children. Patient has symptoms of extreme tension and anxiety caused by apparent infertility. Normal in all other respects. Prescribed five grains of salicylic acid, telling patient it would produce great excitement accompanied by complete freedom from anxiety and inhibitions.
