Seems to me that medieval medicine was safer than 19th century "patent" medicines. Hamlin's Wizard Oil 50-70% alcohol! Dr Thomas's Eclectric Oil (not a typo) “alcohol, chloroform, tinctures of opium, hemlock, & turpentine”! #history#medieval#historyofmedicinewww.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Shock of the old: 10 scandalous vintage medicines – from asthma cigarettes to cocaine wine
Cure any ailment! Never known to fail! Early medicine adverts made grand claims but they look alarming today
Slander, I say! Dr Thomas's is guaranteed to cure pretty much anything. Or else you don't notice the problem anymore. Something.
