Why can&#39;t we just buy &quot;Near sighted&quot; glasses at the local drug store like we can buy &quot;Far sighted&quot; reading glasses for $10 and that&#39;s it?t makes no sence. If I just have normal bad eye sight, then why can't I just go to the local store to buy some near-sighted glasses Near-Sighted glasses are reading glasses also, but just to read further away.
Perfume is thousands of years old-the word perfume comes from the Latin per fume through smoke. One of the oldest uses of perfumes comes form the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees.
During the Black Death, doctors believed, among other things, that poisonous vapors caused the plague. They used aromatic herbs to purify the air. Before the pestilence, humans did have a long history of using perfume, but with the Black Death, use of personal fumigants truly became the rage. One of the most popular was orange mixed with dry cloves. People also carried posies of aromatic flowers.
