115 A Very Special Juice

A Very Special Juice and the Golden Fountain are the titles of two books. They have sold hundreds of
thousands of copies. Can you guess what they are about? They are guides to urine therapy. Don't laugh! Urine
is big business these days. There's an annual market of US$500 million for products made from urine.
"It's a great aftershave," says one consumer. It's even used in many skin creams and perfumes. Besides,
it is widely used as a kind of medicine. Believe it or not, a lady in America says she drinks a glass of
urine a day. At this point, you must excuse me; I have to go to the restroom.
