“the wondrous strength-giving serum” [CREE]
For our 300th episode, we thought we'd do something just a
Trifle different. Following the theme of our previous episode,
we're focused again on "The Adventure of the Creeping Man."
This time, however, we turn to a satirical piece that appeared
in The Baker Street Journal: a piece in the style of a
pharmaceutical ad for the wonder drug known as "Langurtin." It
appeared in the Autumn 1997 issue (Vol. 47 No. 3) and was created
by Jeff and Wanda Dow.
It's just a Trifle.

air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
