Hi all,<br>I am currently learning the 8th Perek of Yuma (PehDaled amud Alef) where there is a sugyah which deals with a cure that a non-jewish (female) doctor prescribed to be taken on shabbat. A few amoraim have different opinions about what that cure is (yeast water, olive oil and salt, yeast itself, olive oil, and salt etc.).<br>
The question raised is "Is there a kiyum of mitzvat talmud torah by learning the sections of Gemarrah that have cures that don't apply today?" The sugyah as a whole (whether you can take medicines on shabbat etc.) obviously is, but is there for studying the refuot themselves?<br>
