2 The suppository has actually been bought by a woman. Unfortunately, we do not know whether the medicine, or the leaflet, have actually helped her.

3 The ‘paratext’, according to Gérard Genette’s formula, is originally designed as a philological tool. Paratexts act as a threshold between text and off-text; they are liminal devices mediating the relations between the content and the receiver. See Genette, Gérard (1987) Seuils, Paris: Seuil. [English version: Genette, Gérard (1997) Paratexts: Thresholds of interpretation, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.].
