If you have nocturnal (nighttime) leg cramps, your doctor might prescribe quinine (Qualaquin)-even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved it for only one purpose: to treat malaria (although doctors can legally prescribe most medications for any type of treatment they deem appropriate).
The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer.In 1386 Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of peace and then three years later in 1389 Clerk of the King's work.he Canterbury Tales were far from complete at the end of Chaucer's life. In the General Prologue, some thirty pilgrims are introduced. Chaucer's intention was to write two stories from the perspective of each pilgrim on the way to and from their ultimate destination, St. Thomas Becket's shrine.
In the order of The Canterbury Tales, the Pardoner's Prologue and Tale are preceded by The Physician's Tale. The Physician's Tale is a harrowing tale about a judge who plots with a churl [low fellow] to abduct a beautiful young woman; rather than allow her to be raped, her father beheads her.n the General Prologue of the Tales, the Pardoner is introduced with these lines: With hym ther rood a gentil Pardoner. Of Rouncivale, his freend and his compeer, That streight was comen fro the court of Rome.
