I have an earache:
* 2000 B.C. -Here, eat this root.
* 1000 A.D. -That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
* 1850 A.D. -That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
* 1940 A.D. -That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
* 1985 A.D. -That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
* 2000 A.D. -That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
