The king s evil was a kind of TB (symptoms were black lumps on the neck). Smallpox and the search for a cure, the falling sickness or as we now know it, epilepsy and much more.... Grisly History of Medicine is a series that looks at the fascinating and more often than not gruesome stories of illness and their treatments throughout history. Here are some revolting stories about some toe curling treatments, some of which are still used today. There is a fantastic mix of some very successful treatments and some of the experimental failures. It all makes for a great scientific read.
