Before recent times, almost all medicines were placebos. Eye of the toad, wing of the bat, dried fox lungs, mercury, mineral water, cocaine, an electric current: these were all touted as suitable cures for various ailments. When Lincoln lay dying across the street from Ford's Theater, it is said that his physician applied a bit of "mummy paint" to the wounds. Egyptian mummy, ground to a powder, was be lieved to be a remedy for epilepsy, abscesses, rashes, frac tures, paralysis, migraine, ulcers, and many other things. As late as 1908, "genuine Egyptian mummy" could be ordered through the E. Merck catalog—and it's probably still in use somewhere today.

أحتاجُ شخصاً اغفو على كتفهِ دون أن يمل مني
لو جاءَ من أهل البَلى مُخبِرٌ
سألتُ عنِ القومِ وأرّخْت
هل فازَ بالجنّةِ عُمّالُها
أو هل ثَوى بالنّارِ نوبَخْت

Another challenge is to decide when to form a serious relation- ship while one is searching through a sequence of encounters and consortships. Economists and statisticians have developed mathematical models of optimal search that look appropriate. But here again a simple rule can do much better. The standard optimal search strategy is called the 37 percent rule. It is useful when you are looking for the best candidate for a position, and you encounter the candidates one at a time, and you have to offer the position on the spot to the first candidate you like, without going back to previously interviewed candidates. This is somewhat like looking for a long-term mate. The 37 percent rule says that you should estimate how many total candidates are likely to apply for the position, interview the first 37 percent of them, and remember the best out of that initial sample. Then, keep interviewing until you find a candidate who seems even better than that. Once you find that better candidate, stop searching and stick with that one. The trouble with this rule is that the time and energy costs of searching can grow very large if you have a large number of possible candidates. For single New Yorkers, it is infeasible to date 37 percent of Manhattan's population before finding a spouse.
