Gauracandra Posted August 11, 2001 Report Posted August 11, 2001 I got this from another list I'm on. MEDICINE THROUGH THE AGES Patient to Healer: I have an earache. Healer in 2000 BC: Eat this root Healer in 1000 AD: That root is heathen medicine. Say this prayer. Healer in 1850 AD: That prayer is superstition. Drink this potion. Healer in 1940 AD: That potion is snake oil. Swallow this pill. Healer in 2000 AD: That pill is artficial. Eat this root. Quote
