Default How do I parse one column into different columns?

I've inherited a big spreadsheet with a column that is full of entries
like

"Symptom : PAIN Cause : INFECTION Rx : AMOXICILLIN Symptom :
SORENESS Cause : STRAIN Rx : TYLENOL"

Does anyone know of a good way to change this column into three
separate columns like

Symptom1 Cause1 Rx1 Symptom2 Cause2 Rx2
PAIN INFECTION AMOXICILLIN SORENESS STRAIN TYLENOL

Thanks for any suggestions. (I've looked at a few books and couldn't
find an example, and I thought somebody out there may have encountered
this problem...)

Kay
