Subject: 71'st update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 71'st update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 24.7 C during this run. Here I retest sumac, which showed
a hit in a previous run, as well as some new supplements.
    The only interesting result this time was with a product called
Nyrene, which had 150 mg of valerian, and 50 mg of melissa(lemon balm).
