PS
In the early 1960s I remember Ms. Daphne Attygalla, later Professor in Pathology at the Colombo Medical Faculty, gave us a lecture about radiation damage to cells. She referred about the incidence of lip cancer among workers painting watch dials with radium salts. We were advised not to buy watches with dials glowing in the dark - a fashion those days.

There was a persistent rumour in Siddha Ayurvedic Medicine, in Sri Lanka, that the powdered form of dried flowers, dried seeds, part of the dried bark, part of a dried stem and part of the dried roots of a Margosa tree which was more than 100 years old, if taken daily in small doses, would increase longevity. Was it another 'Sympathatic magic' concoction?
