Medicine is the stuff of science fiction.It wasn’t sanitary and it was not helpful. Ancient Medical treatment was the following.Python bile was used to treat gastric ulcers. The bile of elephant was used to treat bad breath.Cocaine was used to treat depression, migraines and toothache.The popular practice of blood letting has been found in ancient world which was painful and mysterious.Severe hemarrhoids are treated by iron rods.It was believed that arsenic could cure fever,headache,syphilis and blood diseases. Treating one disease by knowingly giving patients another incredibly deadly one sounds insane. But that's exactly what Austrian physician Julius Wagner-Jauregg did in the 1920s: he discovered that malaria-induced fevers could help treat syphilis. He even won the Nobel Prize for his efforts!!!!
