It may happen to be something very good for your disease, it may be entirely useless, and it may be something very harmful.

There is no one drug, or medicine, known to the medical profession, that will cure more than one or two diseases, or relieve more than four or five disturbed and uncomfortable conditions.

As you not only do not know what you are taking, but are not always quite sure what is the matter with you, the chances of your getting the right remedy for your disease are not much more than one in a hundred.

If it isn't the right thing, you are certainly wasting your money, and may be doing yourself a serious injury.
We should not pour drugs of which we know little into a body of which we know less.

Doctors give scarcely a fourth as much medicine now as they did fifty years ago.
