This caught my eye: I have blogged similar sentiments, but it seems Churchill said it first. It is not Churchill at his best - he was 73 when he wrote it - and in the rambling first sentence there may be a sign of the dementia which afflicted him in his last years.
I have been inclined to feel from time to time that there ought to be a hagiology of medical science, and that we ought to have saints' days to commemorate the great discoveries which have been made for mankind, and perhaps for all time - or for whatever time may be left to us. Nature, like many of our modern statesmen, is prodigal of pain. I should like to find a day when we can take a holiday, a day of jubilation, when we can fete good Saint Anaesthesia and chaste and pure Saint Antiseptic.
Immunisation, anaesthesia, and antibiotics are the big three for canonisation; and a fourth saint should be created for the host of benefits vital in special cases, such as the obstetric forceps, diuretics, and hormones, to name just three.
But the highest honour should be reserved for Saint Morphine the Merciful.
'Twould ring the bells of heaven their wildest peal for years, if Patriarchs would turn away from theology to call for thanks for medical science, for medical scientists, and for the human faculties of observation and analysis which deliver such great benefits.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sandals[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]MBT shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]MBT shoes[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]MBT[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]MBT shoes[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt shoes review[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes review[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]shoe for worked[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]shoe for worked[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes sale[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
These are pretty bold claims but there is no doubt that MBT shoes are [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] popular both as recreation and sportswear. A study [U]mbt sandals[/U] by Sheffield Hallam University recently concluded that MBT shoes were better for the knees ankles [U]shoe for worked[/U] than normal shoes. The study also concluded that if [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] you walk correctly you would take shorter strides while walking in MBTs. Shorter [B]MBT shoes[/B] strides would mean more steps and more expending of energy and this [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] would increase your calorie burn.
