Tlng-a-Ling-Hn?: Is That the Drug Store? When I was a boy, our family kept the following medicines in the house: Castor oil, turpentine, (then called teb-um-time), and dry mus tard. My wife has 86 different kinds of drugs in the medicine chest all the time and there are not less than 145 half-filled prescription bot tles in the linen closet. She saves all of. our left-over medicines, hoping that we might have a chance to use them later on when somebody catches something. » My mother kept her flock (of 10) well through the medium of assy lidity. The minute any kind of dis ease amongst folks and pigs was neard of in our community, a bag of assy fidity was tied securely around each child's neck, and we were daresome to take that stuff off till it wore entirely out. It was a known fact that if a child wore a wad of assy fidity, that measles, mumps, whooping cough, bow-legs, warts, and all other diseases had not a chance to attack him or her. Mother could always buy the strongest assy fidity (now called asaioetlda, but pronounced differ ently) ever heard of for us. The school teacher could smell us com ing when we got within 2 miles of the school house. And when that immunity bag” of stuff got wet, it was 10 times stronger than ever, and a skunk would have to hold his nose when he met us In the rain. I have lost close to 25 sweethearts in my life because of that smelliing aroma swinging just above my chest. They liked me all right, but at a distance. But things have changed. When our baby sneezes once, the doctor is called, and when she sneezes twice, 2 doctors are asked to hold a con sultation ($50.00, if you please), and If she has 1 degree of temperature, caused perhaps from eating a ball of candy or hopping down stairs, 2 trained nurses are immediately em ployed. My wife and are both^vell as can be these days, but each of us takes 5 different kinds of medi cine just before retiring, and good ness only knows how many kinds ol greases, salves, oils, and so forth chat we rub with. Yes. folks, we are just like you: we simply have to have our medicine. A person is not given a chance • hasp dav* tn dip a natural tV they all use doctors and hospitals when the. passlng-out time ap proaches. I remember when 11 mem bers of my father’s family had measles at one time, and he was the sole nurse. Some of us saw him once a day. We Just suffered 'em out, only a few of the kids went to bed, but we had a sheep then, and an old ne gro woman would send us a chum full of sheep tea every morning, and we got well. Folks rarely ever got sick back there: they were too poor to enjoy bad health, i Excure me a minute while I gargle my throat, take a pill and rinse out my mouth | with llsterine.)
