This one has long gone but….
Many years ago there was a search for a medical cure to most ailments. The search was for a magic bullet. The term apparently came from German folklore.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_bullet “The original “magic bullet” of German folklore, which was enchanted and could not miss its mark, made its debut into the wider European consciousness as a feature of Carl Maria von Weber’s ghostly opera Der Freischütz, first performed in Berlin in 1821.
It then became a medical term: http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art … ekey=32280
Magic bullet: Or, sometimes, silver bullet. 1. The perfect drug to cure a disease with no danger of side effects. The term magic bullet was first used in this sense by the German scientist Paul Ehrlich to describe antibody and, later, the drug salvarsan that he created to treat syphilis. 2. In general, a magical solution to any vexing problem. 3. In werewolf lore, a silver bullet is the only means to kill a werewolf (wolfman).
Today, however, with the rise in vampire movies it has now become a silver bullet.
