Summary: I saw it in Consumer's

I read about medicated Kleenex in Consumer's.  They were skeptical,
but repeated positive trial results.  They thought that the medication
(don't remember whether it was Vitamin C or something else - but not
iodine) might work by killing the germs in your wastebasket, as I
recall.

I think the product is in test-marketing somewhere, maybe the NE (but
I haven't yet seen it).
