Universal panacea

The universal panacea (PAN-uh-see-uh), one of the goals sought by many alchemists, was a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. (The other was the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance which would enable the transmutation of common metals into gold.)

Compare: snake oil
