Synopsis
Ground up mummy bones, dried toads tied around the neck, and a morning breakfast of lice and pee. It sounds like a horror movie but those are actual medicines prescribed by early doctors. Medical students studied anatomy on bodies stolen from graves, and had to operate on people while they were awake. Learn about the medicines that came from poison and doctors who experimented on themselves and their families. It's a twisted tale of medical mayhem, but it's all true!

Review
This is a fantastic book for any home or classroom with children from around 8 and up. Any history and science fan from the young to the 'older' will enjoy giving this a read. Your eyes will 'bug out', your stomach will churn, your thoughts will run rampant with 'Oh's and Ah's' and you will walk away feeling the curiosity bug scratching at your brain, leading you on your own search for more. This is a must for any middle grader's library! --Mom Monday Review, Reads All the Books
This book is clearly aimed at middle-school students. Its size, illustrations, and narrative do not make it intimidating for that age group and may even entice those reluctant to read . . . highly recommended for middle-school students (and curious adults). --Muhammed Hassanali, Seattle Book Review
[The book] is filled with bizarre medical tales of old and ancient medical practices, sufficiently weird to delight anyone, but especially 9-12 year olds. The stories are enhanced by Eliza Bolli's fun illustrations . . . If this is a selection you want to use with a class, I would suggest it as a hook to interest students in anatomy, human body functions, disease organisms, or history of biology. You could use a single selection to introduce a particular topic, or at the end of a unit for enrichment or extension. --Paula Young, Science-Nook.com
