About this title

Synopsis:

What did the people of 17th century England do when they got a dose of the clap? They reached for "Walker's Jesuit Drops" or "Wessels Specific Purging remedy for Venereal Diseases" of course. Did either work? Was urine-gazing by the 'pisse prophets' (with or without the patient being present) an effective diagnostic tool?
