CURE Quote
A man gets a thorn into his hand quite under the skin. It is not extracted, but it cannot be allowed to remain there. What happens? Inflammation is set up, suppuration takes place around it, the skin over it dies, gives way, and the thorn is floated out along with all the mess it has made. In fact it created a disturbance and was turned out. No doubt it smashed a few things in the process, but that is willingly and quickly put right at the expense of the proprietor. This then is an example of a very summary and effectual ejectment on the part of the vis medicatrix nature.
— Anderson, J. Wallace (James Wallace), The Power of Nature in Disease, 1899-
