From the Wizards

The Wizards of Unseen University are making rapid progress toward
finding a cure for the common hangover (Crapula Horrenda), according
to a report received by the Chronicle.

Several promising lines of investigation are being followed. One
group of wizards are attempting to recreate the hangover cure
developed on Hogswatchnight several years ago, although they are
hampered by a lack of adequate record-keeping on that occasion. An
investigation has been opened into those procedural problems and
should be completed as soon as the Bursar feels better.

According to Nanny and Doctor, the heads of the Guild, another team
of wizards is working its way through the grimoire and the
pharmacopoeia, seeking the right combination of spell and potion to
cure the hangover. Ponder Stibbons has offered to seek help from
Hex, but it is widely felt in the Guild that Meddling With The
Unknown is a job for human beings rather than machines.

Should you meet any wizards in the bar, please feel free to buy us a
drink. You will be assisting in our research and contributing to the
ultimate freeing of the human race from the terrible affliction of
the hangover.
