**Homeremediesprobablyalwayswillhaveaplaceinthetreatment
of mankind's aches and pains. Physicians do not expect, and do
not desire, that patients shall dash to the doctor with every minor
discomfort, every trifling injury, every small ache or pain. It is
sensible to care forsuch things by simple, safe home means."
