This is the first video in a series that will explore medical treatment during the Early Modern era(1500-1800). In this video, we will take a look inside the Apothecary and find what funky medicines the Apothecarian tried forcing down your throat. We'll also take a look at the various quacks that tried selling you miracle cures, and most importantly, the theory of humorism: that the human body consisted of 4 elements, which needed to be balanced to preserve your health...
