action

A man enters a pharmacy to buy medicine. However, he has forgotten what means he even needs. With the help of the pharmacist, he tries to find out the desired remedy. He reveals to the pharmacist that his child is crying and screaming terribly. This brings the pharmacist to the fact that this child has to teething. She recommends him a chamomile tea , but he doesn't buy it. The almost desperate pharmacist finally receives the tip that his wife sent him off for a sedative.

She finally gives him a medicine with a name that resembles a tongue twister : Isopropyl-profimil-barbiturates-phenyl-dementhy-lamino-phyrazolon . He finds this word terribly simple, so simple that you forget it right away.
