                                These four pages are an article from
                                  an unidentified journal showing the
                                  results of a test of the absorbent
                                  capacity of tampons, probably from the
                                  1960s or 1970s. I thought it would be
                                  interesting to show how such things
                                  are done. The annotations are from
                                  someone in a tampon manufacturing
                                  company, a competitor of Pursettes.
