Some one sent me this. It tells us how medicine evolves over the years...
2000 B.C.E. - Here, eat this root.
1000 C.E. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 C.E. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 C.E. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 C.E. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 C.E. - That antibiotic doesn't work any more. Here, eat this root.
