The Cabinet of Quackery: The Comically Annotated Guide to Curing Yourself with Poison


Overview

Got a Cough? Try Heroin. In the 19th century, medicine was less ""science"" and more ""guesswork with heavy metals."" Doctors prescribed mercury for constipation, arsenic for glowing skin, and electric shocks for just about everything else. Annotated by The Cynical Undertaker, this collection of actual Victorian medical advice proves that survival was a miracle. Discover the ""cures"" for: Teething Babies: A soothing syrup made of opium and alcohol. Headaches: Leeches applied directly to the temples. Baldness: A paste made of crushed mice and lard. Hysteria: A cold water hose and a firm lecture.
