History of Medicine

I found this while researching material for one of my websites

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.
