Somethings were a little bit strange during the Victorian era when it came to healthcare, here are some of the things they used to do.

BALDING, CURE FOR

Rubbing an onion on your head is very effective.

CHOLERA, PREVENTION OF

Fear of cholera could increase your chances of getting it. Stay calm in its presence.

TEETHING PAIN, RELIEF FROM

Hang a dead mole around the neck of your baby.

EARACHE, TREATMENTS FOR

Place a ready-cooked baked potato on the painful area and secure tightly.

WHOOPING COUGH, REMEDIES FOR

I recommend the father takes the child to a field at sunset and gently holds their head in a hole.

RUNNY NOSE, REMEDY FOR

Either sniff an old mouldy sock or a generous handful of wet salt. Alternatively, drink hot whisky.

… AND IF NOTHING ELSE SUCCEEDS

If all medicinal concoctions fail, pray. If praying fails, have the offending limb amputated and hope the instrument has been sterilised well.
