In "Pissing in the Snow: Ozark Mountain Folktales", Vance Randolph tells
of a wizened old country doctor who could treat anything. Well it seems
one time, one of the mountain folk came into his office with three
complaints. "Doc," he said, "I can't taste nothin', I can't tell the truth,
and I can't remember nothin' besides."
Well the old Doc thought about this for a minute and went back into the
apothecary, and made of two capsules full with cow hooey, and gave them
both to the man, and telling him to take one immediately, chewing well.
Well, the man did as he was told, bit down and started chawing, then
yelled out, "Yeachhhhh... this stuff tastes like shee-it."
"Uh huh," the doctor said, "Well I see that you can taste, and you're
certainly telling the truth now. And the next time that you're memory
is acting up, just take the other pill."
And the old Doc charged the man fifteen bucks and sent him on his way,
and never did hear no trouble from him much after that.
