Probably the best book written on this topic, October 15, 1998

Really comprehensive coverage of technique and interpretation of HR-CT of the lung. Almost any disease, even the rare ones are covered. A must-have for radiologists working in this field.

Color is Misleading, June 21, 2008

The stone in the image is deeper than that of the actual product. It’s a very light lavender color in real life.

Very tiny, more pale then it should be, cute, doesn’t stay in to well., April 24, 2010

“Very tiny, more pale then it should be, cute, doesn’t stay in to well.” That about sums it all up. It fell out after the first night I wore it to bed. I haven’t been able to find it. So take it out at night I guess. I also find it hard to believe that this is the cheapest they come… because you can get 25 tongue rings for 4 bucks but one nose ring costs ?

Swarovski glistens, January 14, 2008

By

The Swarovski crystals are so beautiful. They sparkle and don’t cloud up. I’m allergic to many expensive metals, but I’m not allergic to this stainless steel. Very beautiful and classy.

This tantalizingly fun (and sometimes gross) book of cures will give the reader a case of the giggles and a learning experience!, December 13, 2010

By 

D. Fowler “Dragonfly77″ (Vermont) – See all my reviews

  

  

  

Most youngsters remember when Mary Poppins cheerfully claimed that, “Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down,” but many, many years ago there were some pretty nasty, gnarly cures for whatever might ail a person. Take for example, in medieval times if you had a sore throat you just might have ended up with a real live frog down your throat or had a necklace strung with earthworms hanging around your neck. It sounds totally disgusting, but while the earthworms wouldn’t have helped one iota, there was a faint possibility that the frog down the throat bit may have worked. When “certain species of frogs get annoyed, they secrete poisonous slime out of their skin.” More than likely some poor kids got “terrible tummy aches,” but these days “frog slime is sometimes used in antibiotics and painkillers.” In pill form that is.

In this marvelously entertaining book there are cures aplenty to make you roll your eyes or chuckle as you imagine someone trying to inflict some awful cure on you. Some of these cures actually worked and, in some instances, are the basis for modern cures. There are cures for everything, but the most common school skipping excuse is the stomachache. Take a look at these three “cures:” A Urine B Dirt C Millipedes (YUK!) No, yes, no. Dirt really has been used throughout the centuries to cure stomachaches. You’ll read all about why it has been and will find that Philips milk of magnesia has white clay as the main ingredient.

This tantalizingly fun (and sometimes gross) book of cures will give the reader a case of the giggles and a learning experience rolled into one. There are a selection of “cures” for the cough, cold, sore throat, wound, stomachache, fever, headache, and “every sickness.” Each malady is lined up side by side and the reader can guess which cure, if any, actually worked. The origin of each cure is listed below an illustration. Once the page is turned, the young reader will have a blast reading about how successful the purported cure was. The illustrations are beautifully rendered with an appropriate dash of humor. Was a “dead man’s skull” a successful cure for wounds? You’ll just have to read the book to find out!
