The first-aid kits where I work contain a Midol equivalent(?) called Pre-comp. The ingredients are aspirin, acetaminophen, and a little caffein. I'd just like to say it's the best headache remedy I've ever found. Apparently it's only available from the company that supplies the kits. If it were in stores anywhere I'd buy a case. -- The Polymath (Jerry Hollombe) Opinions expressed here are my own Transaction Technology, Inc. and unrelated to anyone else's. 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405 United States (213) 450-9111, ext. 2483 ...{garfield,lasspvax,linus,cmcl2,seismo}!philabs!ttidca!ttidcc!hollombe
