Stay fit with special cream

JAKARTA (JP): It is not because the majority of People's Consultative Assembly members are male that Sehat Perkasa (healthy and strong) cream has jumped in sales.

"The cream is our hot number-one product because many people have asked for it," Sri Linda Setiawaty, a stand keeper at the Nyonya Meneer medicinal herbs producer, said on Thursday.

Containing turtle oil, the ointment is said to help prolong erection, and if used frequently it will gradually heal impotency, Linda boasts.

"So for less than US$1, you can feel our medicinal herbs work and give you so much unbelievable pleasure that you need to buy more," she told a man who visited her counter at the Assembly building. In Indonesian currency, the cream costs Rp 7,000.

How to use it?

"Apply the cream on the most vital part of the body two hours before you start doing the job," said Linda, reading from the instruction label.

She told The Jakarta Post some visitors dropped by only to ask for her advice, but that many directly bought the product.

"The sale of this cream is 40 percent higher than our other medical herbs products," Linda said, but she declined to disclose the profits her company had gained from the ointment sale. (emf)
