Says Chlorophyl Kills Liquor Odor

PHILADELPHIA-(INS)- Polite society refers to it as "stomachic distress." the more direct call it "alcoholic breath." Whatever you call it, chlorophyl will conceal it.
James A. Campbell, Purdue University student, made that claim Tuesday at the centennial convention of the American Pharmaceutical Association.

Campbell said his tests showed that the odor of a one-ounce drink of bourbon whiskey was 50 per cent as strong one-half hour after volunteers swallowed an ordinary chlorophyl tablet.

Complete destruction of the odor of whiskey can be obtained by taking a sufficient quantity of chlorophyl," Campbell said.

"Of course," he added, "the more whiskey that's drunk the more chlorophyl it takes to remove the odor."
