Modern medicine is a fantastic thing – but have you ever stopped to consider just how much it’s evolved over the years? Just 100 years ago, some medical practices were costing tens of thousands but were still archaic and ineffective. Some were downright dangerous, but no one knew any better.
From drug-laden Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup to stretchers to make you taller, you’ll never believe what was deemed safe and acceptable a few decades ago. You won’t find any of these products on Amazon now, but thankfully there are much cheaper (and safer) alternatives that will get the job done in a pinch.
