Harpoonics

[Wilson Gray]

Isn't there also an auxiliary branch of medicine known as
"phlebonics," where they draw your blood or something? This is not to
be confused with that infamous bit of quacksalvery known as
"fleabonics." Everybody knows that can't cancer be cured with any
fleas, despite what those local-cable ads claim.
