Mental narcotics

Does wisdom make blunders which must afterwards be rectified by man? Does a law of God produce sick- ness, and can man put that law under his feet by healing sickness? According to Holy Writ, the sick are never really healed by drugs, hygiene, or any material method. These merely evade the question. They are soothing syrups to put children to sleep, satisfy mortal belief, and quiet fear.
