My favorite quotation from the Merck Manual (a reference no reader of
this group should be without) is on the treatment of warts.  It is a
great example of the manual's concise and precise language.  Ending two
paragraphs of painful treatments for common warts is the sentence "In
young patients, suggestion followed by an impressive manipulation
---e.g., shining a Wood's light on the wart after painting it with a
fluorescent dye, or warming it with a heat lamp---may be successful."
