Margo,

FAST SELF HELP. I have tried to do a search on the no-milk achieves for you
but I cannot get the site to come up. And now it's just to late on the East
coast to try any more, sorry. Perhaps you can try. Just go to
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?S1=no-milk and put "amoxicillin" in
for the search.

Good Luck
