A
John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment.
We were on our way back from a camping holiday; we had lived through for over a fortnight and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.
I felt in my pocket for a box of match, but could not find any.” I haven’t got any, either.” said John.
Sitting opposite us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.
“Excuse me, sir.” said John, leaning across. “Could you give me a light, please?”
The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face..
“This is a no-smoking compartment.” The man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.
The man went on, in a rather more kindly fashion, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.
“I speak as a doctor.” He concluded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.
When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.
“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph. “It’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath his photograph was an account of a lunatic (精神病人) who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.

Folk medicine maintains the health of the body by using medicine taken from surrounding plants and herbs. Since materials for making medicine to cure a sickness can be found everywhere, one can practice folk medicine in any place of the world.
The use of folk medicine goes all the way back to the time of the earliest man when both man and animals used plants and herbs to keep healthy. It is usually seen that animals eat snakeroot after being bitten by a poisonous snake. Because animals seem to have this natural ability for knowing which plants and herbs will cure what sickness, man probably learned how to cure for himself by animal watching.
Man also learned other things from animals. He observed that wild animals, when sick, kept quiet and rest, getting well with the help of the medicine in plants and pure air. He saw that an animal with fever could often be found resting in a cool place, eating nothing, and often drinking water until the fever was gone.
Some believe that folk medicine deals with a lot of old wives’ tales which have something to do with the medical treatment of the body. Stories are told about the powers of certain vegetable material, which when hung round the neck, brings the wearer good health during the cold winter months. Such a story is simply a fairy tale. It should be separated from the discussion of folk medicine.
