"[...] God's country stops at Indian Springs and even Lord Satan don't step his cloven feet much north of Tonopah. There's no God in Desperation, baby boy. Out here there's only can de lach."
     That seemed to be it.
~~From Desperation, by Stephen King

From the ebook I have open:
[...] There would be nothing to see, and if she knew he was awake, she might pull away.
     Her touch was firm, gentle, knowing. It traveled in slow, circular lines down his back. Cool, soothing, comforting.

"More important in that connexion [sic] is the consideration that the concept of treatment, where medical treatment is spoken of, is not satisfied, in my opinion, by any application of a substance to the human body of part of it. Those who apply chemical preparations to the skin to prevent sun burn in climates which enjoy sunshine and moderate air tempatures can scarcely be regarded either as, or in a relevant sense, treating their bodies or undergoing treatment. On the other hand, application to the skin of an ointment designed and effective to remove keratoses from the skin would be an instance of medical treatment. To be treatment, in the relevant sense, it seems to me that the purpose of the application to the body whether of a substance or process, must be the arrest of cure of a disease or a diseased condition or the correction of some malfunction or the amelioration of some incapacity or disability."
