Thanks, Rex, I think. I need to read it again to see if I fully understand it.

Isn't it interesting that mice, which we humans try to avoid or exterminate, are so much like us that they serve as experimental subjects? Today the latest issue of Science News magazine arrived and I immediately read the cover story on the intelligence of parrots. The older I get, the more respectful I am of the other creatures on our planet.

I remember a number of years ago that it was found that people who would become afflicted with Alzheimers or dementia would also have their sense of smell diminished in either or both nostrils. This seems to hold another link. Wouldn't it be wonderful if those scourges could be controlled by the health of the nasal passages?
