Medicine in ancient Rome mother's milk (or colostrum) is actually a rather effective treatment. Colostrum has been shown to prevent the growth of "Staphylococcus" bacteria, which are a known cause of several types of infection. Colostrum is about half as effective as some antibiotics prescribed to patients today. Colostrum is also effective against the bacterium chlamydia; this is the cause of a sexually transmitted disease and also can cause severe sight impairment, if not blindness. Thus, colostrum was a rather effective treatment in the ancient world – perhaps that is why it was viewed as a divine treatment. The interpretation of dreams was another
P-adic modular form is invertible at ("E",ω). The "p"-adic modular form "f" now takes values in "R" rather than in the complex numbers. The "p"-adic modular form also has to satisfy some other conditions analogous to the condition that a classical modular form should be holomorphic. Overconvergent "p"-adic modular forms are similar to the modular forms defined by Katz, except that the form has to be defined on a larger collection of elliptic curves. Roughly speaking, the value of the Eisenstein series "E" on the form is no longer required to be invertible, but can be a smaller element of "R". Informally the
