"Di seluruh Asia dan Eropa, mutiara secara tradisional diyakini dapat meredakan berbagai kondisi, termasuk penyakit mata, demam, insomnia, 'keluhan wanita', disentri, batuk rejan, campak, kehilangan kejantanan, dan mengompol ...

Though nobody seems to advertise the potential for pearls to cure bed-wetting anymore.
