The Cure for a Rabid Dog Bite (1906)

That’s like page 5 in the naturopaths training manual lol

Your title is musleading. If you read the preamble, the treatment is actually from the Chinese medical textbook “The Golden Mirror of Medicine” which was published in 1742 AD.

Came here to say the same.

this shit is why I’d never go back in time before antibiotics and such

Yeah, plus it would be CRAZY for people to want to go back to pre-vaccine days, when only around 50% of kids made it to age 10. (That said, these are crazy times.)

> only around 50% of kids made it to age 10. Playgrounds back then had viper pits and wooden slides, soda pop had cocaine and heroin in it and teachers could beat children with their fists. Only the rich kids had iPhones.

Or you can go back in time with a bagful of antibiotics. You’ll be treated either as a hero or a witch.

pretttty sure it’d be latter

Or a callously thoughtless jerk lol “You cured us, that’s crazy! There are lots of people here who need that remedy, thank God you’re here. Can we please have some more?” “Sorry it was just the one bag.” “That’s alright! Surely you know how to make more of it…?” “…” “… Well, uh. Thanks for your time I suppose.”

Go back far enough and even just the bag would get you attention

What’s in the bag?…..witch

We should be encouraging it. If you’re stupid enough to believe this then why stop them?

Don’t forget a good bleeding to balance out those bodily humours.

Wtf is a single red hair? 🤣

I am replaying RDR2 right now, and this shit is exactly the kind of thing you find when you actually read the text in books and newspapers. Fucking love how accurate they got the feel of it.

“Woof woof, not bang bang”

Is this going to hurt?

Knowing about rabies now, I’d be inclined to chop the limb off. With a well sanitized set of surgical equipment and clean hands of course.

I’m no doctor, but I don’t believe this will help your chances of surviving a mad dog bite.

Lol if that really happened

It works for hangovers, too

What’s wrong with red hair though?

I’m surprised cocaine wasn’t part of it.
