magic medicine

Aspirin. Paracetamol. Ibuprofen. Codeine. They all sound like some sort of fantastic super-heroes and in a way they are. Swallow two of your choice (preferably of the same type) and the annoying, throbbing, distracting, mindbitingly irritating pain you're
  experiencing is bound to lessen somewhat.

They taste foul (presumbaly to stop the ickle children from thinking they're they latest offering from Trebor) but their mass production and widespread availability are surely one of twentieth century medicine's greatest achivements.

Discussions of the benefits of other pills may be conducted in due course.
