SIMPLER TIMES
SPRING CLEANING AND COUNTRY MEDICINE By Charles D. “Pedro” Williams, M.D., FACR, FAAP Many home remedies were tried back in the 40’s and seeing a doctor was a last resort. Good thing back then we had strong bodies or we may not have survived the treatment. We were treated even if we didn’t know what was goin’ on. Ending a sentence with a preposition seems so natural.) Now-a-days we do diagnostic tests even if nothing is going on and it seems that a person in good health is a person who has not been properly investigated. The Castor Oil remedy must have been a family remedy passed down for generations. It was one of the home medications that country folk kept going along with Vick’s Salve, Epson Salts, Goody’s Powders, Ex Lax, Hadacol, Black Draught, Witch Hazel and Carter’s Little Liver Pills. The truth was that most ills were not cured but worn out by a strong body. As a kid during the spring cleaning it was necessary to get a good dose of Castor Oil whether you needed it or not. During the 1940’s, this occurred just as certain as Ground Hog Day. I was not allowed to go barefooted or take off my long handled underwear until the spring dose of Castor Oil. About May I was tired of my long handles stickin’ out of my short sleeved shirt and was tired of my worn-out soles flapping on my shoes so I would break down and take the unavoidable. If we as kids felt sick, regardless of the cause, and expressed any desire to miss school, Mama would bring out the Castor Oil. One day at the age of 7, I was achin’ all over. I went out to catch the school bus but I didn’t. Later in the day Mama saw me peeping over the wood pile and I saw her standing on the porch with a belt and a bottle of Castor Oil. After my spanking I took the medicine like a man. Perfect attendance came to me the rest of the year and the next. At the age of 11, I developed a belly ache one night and woke Mama up. That was a mistake. A dose of Castor Oil followed. Around 4am the pain was worse and another dose of Castor Oil was forthcoming. I was catchin’ on and I knew a third dose would kill me. Usually the doctor wouldn’t be called until the home remedies had failed. About now Mama knew it was time to see Dr. Frank Gay. He first took a history and did a physical, but that was back in the old days. His clinical judgment was to operate. I asked him if that meant cutting and he said, “Yeah.” I
replied, “Maybe we should try the Castor Oil one more time.” After the surgery he brought in the inflamed appendix in a jar and showed it to me. It was the size of a stringbean. I knew he had made a mistake ‘cause what was hurting me was about the size of a cantaloupe. There were other unusual remedies in South Georgia and North Florida in the 40’s. Around 1946 I developed fever and bumps which Dad and Grandma diagnosed as Chicken Pox. Around 10:00 one night Dad wrapped me in a quilt and took me out to the door of the hen house. He got inside and shooed the chickens while they flew over me squawking as I squatted and shivered. However, later it was obvious to me that Dad and Grandma were bright people. The Chicken Pox had disappeared within 2 weeks. Most of ya’ll probably had the good fortune of missing the hot mustard plaster treatment to the chest for colds and chest congestion. One night while laying around wheezing, Mama brought the mustard plaster into the dark room and missed my chest by 2 feet too low. Mama heard my scream and the screen door slammin’ simultaneously as I was leaving. They found me 1 hour later in the hen house. The therapy for Chicken Pox had worked so well I was hoping it would help the mustard plaster pain and whatever else was ailing me. Medical knowledge has certainly increased since Grandma Williams’ time. Grandma had her remedies which she passed on to her kids. She also encouraged her grandkids to do better. At the time of her death, the 7 grandkids carrying her coffin were M.D.’s. At that moment I felt very humbled. With all that medical knowledge of me and my first cousins, we could not help Grandma. Whether we are dealing with the home remedies of the old days or the sophisticated medicine of the 21st century, we certainly have our limitations. If love for her could have healed her, Grandma would still be with us today. Reprinted with author permission from Simpler Times. Dr. Williams’ book, More Simpler Times, can be purchased from the Capital Medical Society. All proceeds from the book are donated to the We Care Network program.

Your gifts to the Capital Medical Society Foundation transform lives in the Big Bend.
The Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” ➢ Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to the We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $105.4 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low-income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2018-19, which ended June 30, 2019, more than $7.4 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the operational expenses of the program including salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate the donated care. ➢ To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at the FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $50,000 was awarded in 2019. ➢ Gifts to the Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operational resources for the Capital Medical Society Foundation. In addition, modest grants are awarded to area non-profits whose programs improve access to healthcare for the underserved. In 2019, the CMSF awarded a total of $10,000 in grants to Elder Care Services for their In-Home Services Program, the Big Bend Hospice for bereavement services, and the Lighthouse of the Big Bend to provide clients who have vision loss with the aids needed to manage their health and medical care independently. Gifts to Honor and In Memoriam: You can make a gift to the CMS Foundation in memory of someone who has passed away or in honor of someone, such as a fellow physician, you hold in high esteem or has taken care of you or your family. The CMS Foundation will send an acknowledgement letter to those you memorialize and honor. How to Give: Through the generosity of donors, funds have been created in order to establish financial stability to meet our mission. You can make a gift at any time to one of the CMS Foundation’s current funds: 1) Capital Medical Society Foundation-area of greatest need 2) The Capital Medical Society Foundation Endowment 3) We Care Network 4) We Care Network Endowment 5) Scholarship Fund 6) The Ronald G. Pickett Endowment 7) Physician Wellness Fund Gifts should be made payable to the CMS Foundation and indicate on the memo line of your check to which designation you would like to give. Bring your check to the CMS Office or mail it: Capital Medical Society Foundation ~ 1204 Miccosukee Road ~ Tallahassee, FL 32308.
