Today, the Kenyan shield-and-spears flies at the United Nations Plaza, the last of the great African game herds frolic in Kenyan national parks, and the Masai, as famous for their good looks as for their hunting prowess, consult physicians who often turn to Terramycin® (oxytetracycline) - found wherever medicine is practiced."
