The boys try the sort of home cures that I barely remember from my own childhood. No one in my house ever used a mustard plaster, but we had them in the utility closet. Like many of the Laurel & Hardy shorts, they were about a world that had largely ended, but had left bits and pieces. They may seem to be antique and sense-free to the modern audience, but I think if you go to the Goop site, or some place that uses crystals, you'll find things that will be just as sense free in a few years.
