Over-the-counter Cure-all

A new patent medicine is being advertised on TV. It's called "Mood-Plus". It is for stress relief. Take a dose of Mood-Plus and relax stress-free and happy. No prescription required.

It reminds me of a comic routine I heard on the radio while in Southern California some time ago. The routine was a faux commercial for a new product called "Damitol". A dose of Damitol (pronounced like Geritol) would cure you. Your bad mood would disappear, along with all your worries, fears, concerns and other stressors. Life imitates art, again. How wonderful that some 40 years after first hearing about Damitol, I can go to the store and buy its latest incarnation, Mood-Plus.
