Ground Liverwort Will Cure Rabies
Richard Mead, an early 18th-century physician, offered another intriguing rabies treatment. The following instructions were published in 1735 in “Gentleman’s Magazine”: Take half a pint of cow’s milk with ground liverwort (a tiny flowerless green herb) and black pepper every morning for four days. After that, the patient had to take a cold bath or swim in a cold spring or river every morning for a month while fasting.

Get Rid Of Bible Cysts With A Corpse
Lorenz Heister, a German anatomist, proposed various therapies for Bible cysts (also known as Ganglion cysts) that develop on the hand or wrists in the 1700s. Heister suggested attaching a bullet that had killed an animal to the cyst or caressing it with the hand of a dead man. A less morbid alternative was to strike the cyst with a thick book — thus the name Bible cysts.
