[Readers of this newspaper were invited to send in home remedies for various aches and pains. Suggestions ranged from cabbage leaves and masking tape to cold teabags. A minister responded as follows.]

"The home remedy of choice for our family ... was first practiced by a small group of deeply devout people who we consider our spiritual forebears. Here is how one of their leaders describes it.

"'Is there any one among you suffering? Let him pray. ...' (James 5:13)

"This first century 'home remedy' has over the years proven effective against the most mundane and critical of illnesses. ... And as you have probably already determined, it is a remedy exercised by those who have some understanding of Jesus Christ. ... For our family it is one of the first we turn to."
