At the turn of the century then, which is only 30 years from now, a nurse visiting a 75-year-old person may be engaged as part of her job in making sure that he is taking regularly several kinds of vitamin doses, a painkiller, a hypnotic dream regulator, an anti-depressant, a sedative or psychostimulant, and so on.

Quite an accurate prediction, isn't it?
She forgot an ED pill
Other than the hypnotic dream regulator, Nailed it!
My 81 year old father takes a statin drug for his cholesterol, a blood pressure drug, dilantin for his seizures, a drug for his congestive heart disease and a drug for his type 2 diabetes.
They called it "hypnotic dream regulator", but we call it "viagra"!
Yeah, that's actually a pretty good one.
