This week, Jamie and Leo cover treatments for ailments throughout history.

Learn how well milk worked as blood, what a tobacco enema is, the origins of snake oil. And is you thought that was all...

We've got a few more treatments, some involving mummies, blood, and whale carcasses.

Lets delve into another chapter of The Darkives.

Serious history. Told not so seriously

* P.S. We are aware of the weird audio in this episode but it is fixed in the upcoming episodes. Thanks for understanding!
