Semicid, a vaginal contraceptive suppository,
is an effective form of birth control that
doesn't interrupt the mood. Because Semicid
is so small and discreet, it's almost like using
nothing at all.
There's no mess, no smell. No un
pleasant taste. Nothing to remove.
And it's available without a
prescription. ;
And Semicid works. It f

that can cause unpleasant side effects.
One Semicid is approximately as effective
as vaginal foam contraceptives in actual
use, but is not as effective as the Pill or IUD
Ask your doctor about it. (Some Semicid
users experience irritation in using the pro
duct. For best protection against pregnancy
follow package directions. And it's essential to
insert Semicid at least fifteen minutes before
intercourse. ) If your doctor has told you that you
should not become pregnant, ask your doctor if you
can use Semicid.
Stop using messy clumsy birth control methods.
Try Semicid, and see how it can improve your love life.

many unhappy
Valentine's days
STEW from Page 17
"Hey, this is a video dating service,
what are we doing here?"
The old man started his speech.
"Well, I like to read, take long walks,
sit by a roaring fire..."
The ghost raised his hand, pointing
at the old man.
"...I would like a woman who is
pretty, intelligent, young, easygoing
and has all the same interests as I do,"
he was saying.
"Oh my god no, no, it can't be true.
Mr. Ghost, take me to my gravestone,
take me anywhere. I'd rather die than
grow old alone and go to a video dating
service!" I wept.
When I stopped weeping, I was again
alone in my apartment. I pulled myself
together and walked outside. I called
to a boy walking by.
"Lad, what day be this?"
"Why, it's St. Valentine's Day, sir."
"Here, take these two $100 bills and
buy three dozen red roses and six
Whitman Samplers and deliver them to
the dark-haired girl in my Philosophy of
Mel Mains class, and while you're at it
give her my left ear!"
The boy took my money and left ear,
never to be seen again. I walked back
into my apartment and watched "The
Newlywed Game," my faith in love
restored.
