Interesting Anecdotes from the Past

Here, through this unique thread, we shall be sharing various stories culled out from the fields as diverse as medicine and fraud, and Robin Hood, mice and music, milk and beer-n-pudding, Kings and seers, doctors and humbugs and what not. These anecdotes, by and large, are from countries of Europe and Americas. For this, I am deeply indebted to Gutenberg.org who have made this significant work on the subject available for the benefit of those interested. I am talking about a rare book entitled “The Funny side Of Physic” written by Dr. A. D. Crabtre, MD. The book was first published in the year 1872 and runs into 700 and odd pages. The beauty of the book lies in its scope whereby it not only entertains and informs but also instructs at the same times. Let us now start our journey down the lane.
