* One of the full-length ''Animation/TheLittleMole'' movies, the protagonist's friend the Mouse gets ill. Krtek asks [[TheOwlKnowingOne the old Owl]] for adviceand is tolt to find a plant called ''Matricaria Chamomilla.'' Since the name's so grandiose-sounding, Krtek pretty much circles [[WorldTour the entire world]], asking virtually anyone who seems knowledgeable about whether a particular plant is his sought after ''[[RunningGag "Chamomilla?"]]'' He is ultimately unsuccessful and returns home, disappointed and sobbing. The Old Owl realises what went wrong, comforts him, and points at a plain-looking flower on the meadow, translating its Latin name into Czech term. If you know Latin, you'll have already realised that ''Matricaria chamomilla'' is [[spoiler: the common wild chamomile]]. Naturally, Krtek is overjoyed (if a bit embarassed) by this discovery, and goes to use the flower in brewing some tea for Mouse, who recovers.

The actual target of the poison ''was'' killed almost immediately by it, Castle just got a low dose of it accidentally (enough to kill him, just not as immediately) by being in the same car with the victim for a few minutes.

** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': An old woman in the town of Mido asks Link to find a medicine so she can cure her sick daughter. Link can find a bottle full of Water of Life in a cave north of Moruge Swamp (which in turn is in the opposide side of the mountain that surrounds Midoro Swamp), but its entrance is blocked by a boulder that can only be broken with the Hammer.

* In ''VideoGame/BloodOmenLegacyOfKain'', Kain's initial motive for going after the Circle of Nine is a cure for his vampirism... though he [[TranshumanTreachery slowly begins to embrace it]]. [[spoiler:It turns out however there is no "cure" in the conventional sense. Unknown to Kain until the very end, he is in fact the new corrupted Guardian of Balance, born between the time of the previous Guardian Ariel's death and the Pillar's subsequent corruption, and so killing the other Pillars won't save Nosgoth as long as he's still alive. [[TreacherousQuestGiver Ariel's spirit]] deliberately withheld this information in the hopes that Kain would ultimately willing choose to sacrifice himself in the end. As it turns out, he was rather miffed at this manipulation and it served as the final straw for him ''refusing'' to sacrifice himself and fully embracing his vampire state.]]
