Homeopathic ... no links ... seductive risk free offer where you must call in for more info.

[Agular]

As ejk said, add them all up, "Homeopathic ... no links ... seductive risk free offer where you must call in for more info."

End of story and a needless post.

I don't think I've seen it in prose or poetry except as a reference to death, though I'm sure people used used it more widely when learning Latin was fashionable.
