Excerpt from Cures: The Story of the Cures That Fail

The word cure meant originally only care. It has come to mean a method or course O'f remedial treat ment successful in restoring a sick person to health. The physician undertakes to cure people in the original sense of the word, but there are any number Of healers who promise cure in the second sense. Of these cures we have had an immense number and all but a very few Of them have failed. After a time it has always been found in spite of their reputation that they did not cure, as was claimed, though Often for a time it seemed to be perfectly certain that they worked a marvelous restoration to health not infrequently in cases where physicians had been unable to benefit the patients.
