Abstract: An analgesic composition comprising an effective amount of an analgesic, anti-inflammatory agent selected from the group consisting of D-phenylalanine, DL-phenylalanine, D-leucine, DL-leucine and hydrocinnamic acid and a synergistically effective amount of acetaminophen is provided by the present invention.

Abstract: Analgesic and anti-inflammatory compositions are provided which comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a hydrocinnamic acid alone, or in combination with one or more amino acids selected from the group consisting of D-phenylalanine, DL-phenylalanine, D-leucine, and DL-leucine and synergistically effective amount of a second therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of aspirin and an aspirin-type non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic agent.

Abstract: Analgesic and anti-inflammatory compositions are provided which comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a first agent selected from the group consisting of D-phenylalanine, DL-phenylalnine, D-leucine, and DL-leucine and synergistically effective amount of a second therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of aspirin and an aspirin-type non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic agent.

Abstract: A new class of analgesics is provided by substances that inhibit breakdown of endogenous substance such as enkephalins and/or endorphins. The analgesic effect of an enkephalin breakdown inhibitor is greatly enhanced by being combined with an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory analgesic, herein designated as an aspirin-type drug. Specifically, both D-phenylalanine and D-leucine, each an enkephalin breakdown inhibitor, when used separately provides excellent analgesia in animals and man without developing tolerance or addiction in either species. Use of a combination of D-phenylalanine and D-leucine provides a greatly enhanced analgesia approaching the analgesia achieved by morphine. Analgesia by the latter combination is very long-lasting in animals. The injection of a combination of D-phenylalanine and an aspirin-like drug that is antipyretic and anti-inflammatory, in an animal provides a greatly enhanced analgesia approaching the analgesia achieved by morphine.

Abstract: A smoking system is provided to filter tobacco smoke and remove harmful ingredients present in the smoke without adversely affecting the aroma and taste of the smoke and permitting easy draw of the smoke from a cigarette. A cylindrical chamber containing filtering means including a cation exchange material is formed to receive a cigarette at one end and to serve as a mouthpiece at the opposite end.
