Pharmacists have let such tried and tested remedies as dragon's blood and mercury disappear from their shelves, along with millipedes, spiders and steel filings. Few doctors today would think of treating hysteria with bloodletting. Fewer still now link outbreaks of cholera with wet feet, or prescribe treacle as a cure. But they once did. This book looks at the best of these "remedies".
