In chapter 12 Aunt Polly is trying a lot of remedies to "cure" Tom. I don't think Tom is really sick he is just very depressed. When people become depress they usually loose apetite and happiness that could eplain the way that Tom looked Physically. I think hegot "sick" after finding out that Becky was ill, he just hadn't any reasons to go to school. He was Physocogically sick and when this happens sometimes your body believes it and becomes sick. Aunt Polly had several type of cures whcich were more from superstitions than actual ways to cure an illness. After she gave Tom the painkiller it did change the attitude it made him strong. This medicine made Tom stong enough enough to go to school still looking sick, to find out if the love of his life was fine.
