"Yes, my filthy stinking friend, tell us more about what it was that attacked you and your companion out there in Jim's Hole, for even though we are now stocked up on potions, ointments, salves, tinctures, unguents, poultices, nostrums, balms, palliatives, unctions, cerates, chrisoms, emetics, lenitives, medicaments, demulcents, emollients, purgatives, inunctions, spikenards, and - yes - vulneraries, we are sadly lacking in the information area. For indeed, is it not true that someone who may or may not have been a wise general who may or may not have lived on another world and/or another time in what may or may not have been referred to as 'Ancient China' said, 'Know Thy Enemy'? I'm hungry."
