Life-giving small ads

Sir: Instead of reading Mary Killen's col- umn to have one's problems solved, one should concentrate on your Classified page. In just one issue (20 March), I find that nearly all my problems can be solved. Under 'Health' I find that I can obtain 'clinically proven hair regrowth treatment'. Also, using 'smart drugs' improve memory and enhance intelligence'. 'Impotency?' — `The only NHS approved aphrodisiac or potency enhancer is now available'. And to top it all `life extension products' are offered. Under 'Personal' I find an 'intelli- gent, attractive woman, 30' who is 'marooned in West Country' and who 'seeks man Friday conversant in the arts, politics and literature' Eureka!

In future I will pay more attention to your Classified page, even when I am not looking for a 'luxury chalet in Loetschental, Switzerland, which sleeps 10'.
