Today on Macabre it is all about the worst ways to cure everything from the Medieval times and the Victorian era. . On today’s episode the letter Q is for Quackery. And we are going to go back in time to discuss the worst way our crazy ancestors tried to cure what ails them. More often than not, these insane ways to treat ailments were highly ineffective and had deadly consequences. 

So grab your inhaler, and take a deep breath because this one is going to get pretty gross.
