Strange Home Remedies and Medical Notes
Dr Lindsley from Washington endorses a scarlet fever treatment using bacon rubbed over the body from day one, except the head, to saturate the skin with fat. The practice allegedly calms symptoms, aids sleep, mood, and appetite, with quick improvements. The piece also cites iodide inhalation for consumption and lists surgical and cancer cases from Massachusetts General Hospital records.
