If you had early signs of paralysis and you were really good at asking personal questions, you might figure out that this paralysis someone has is from syphilis, in which case you could give this nice concoction of mercury and arsenic -- as long as you didn't overdose them and kill them.
Hvis du havde tidlige tegn på lammelse og var du virkelig god til at spørge om personlige spørgsmål, kunne du finde ud af at lammelsen skyldes syfilis, hvorefter du kunne ordinere en hyggelig blanding af kviksølv og arsenik -- så længe de ikke overdoserede og slog patienten ihjel.
