Vitamin C is the Best Medicine - CH
Ting
"That's the title of my book on vitamin C. I just got 1180 copies
shipped to me. I will show it off and talk about it. The book is in Simplified
Chinese, which does not make any difference for you Americans. I will spend
most of my time now trying to sell them and some vitamin C on the side."
