<paraindent><param>left</param>Egad!!!  The old remedy torture:
<bold><underline>The Mustard Plaster</underline></bold>!!!  I remember it
well.  I have no idea how it was made either, but I sure remember every
time I had a chest cold, my mother would peal the protective cover off of
one and slap it on my chest.  It produced heat that was supposed to
reduce congestion and cure the cold.  How I hated them!
