We had a terrible cold/flu for the entirety Thanksgiving weekend. We had to cancel a trip, and spend Thanksgiving turkey-less and by ourselves. Luckily I remember I have a book of awful, terrible old-timey medicine and horrifying "treatments." On this episode, we tell of how this cold clobbered us, and what the horrid treatments for our symptoms would be in the bad old days. You've heard of medical leeches, but have you heard of the scarificator? Why would you want to drink from a "puke chalice?" Find out this and more in this episode!
