I Feel Better with a Frog in My Throat: History's Strangest

I Feel Better with a Frog in My Throat: History's Strangest Cures

It wasnâ€™t too long ago that people tried all sorts of things to helpÂ sick people feel better. They tried wild thingsÂ like drinking a glass full of millipedes or putting some mustard on one's head.Â Some of the cures worked, and some of themâ€¦well, letâ€™s just say that millipedes,Â living or dead, are not meant to be ingested.
Carlyn Beccia takes readers on a colorful and funny medical mysteryÂ tour toÂ discover that while times may have changed, many of todayâ€™s most reliable cure-alls have their roots in some very peculiar practices, and so relevant connections can be drawn from whatÂ they did then to whatÂ we do now.
