For a sore throat

Call upon God and remember Saint Blaise,
for getting a thorn from your flesh or a bone from your throat.

I like the folklore and mythology around the saints, that there are specific saints to call on for specific illnesses. I think we need more. We need a saint for Restless Leg Syndrome, and lipomas. There probably are some, but I don't know who they are yet.

I don't have a sore throat, though. I was just posting some trivia. At least, I don't have a sore throat yet. Who knows what the kids will bring home from school today. Last month it was ringworm.

I wish you much success with your art. And, I hope the kids don't bring home the sore throat.

that's the one I use for Restless Leg Syndrome.


It has a better success rate, IMO, than St Joseph for selling homes...

Or the cereal?

Someone recommended folic acid for restless legs. It seems to have helped me.

love the painting... I awoke with a sore throat, cough, aches and since I have no saint I went and bought a bottle of Brandy



(only wish I could have afforded the really good stuff)
