It was the cute baby in the buggy ~ he gurgled and the sputum infected you with typhoid fever.

Your mother took care of that years ago when you got your shots ~ or did she?

How do any of us know our mothers really did get us our shots?

She's right here, let me ask her....Swears she did, but I might need to hook her up to the polygraph just in case. By the way, for the realities of early 20th century health care, read The Cruelest Miles. Details the Nome diptheria epidemic and the dog sledders who brought the antidote. Great story.
