    My wife happened to find this book from 1889 at the library today. It has a few pages on health and disease, and it was fun to see how people thought about contagious diseases in those times. They were NOT worried about these such as Measles and Mumps. Instead, they had a big write up about Cholera. Their solution was Elixir of Vitriol. They also talked about eating properly as a defense.

    Aside from that they just wanted to know the number of days before symptoms and how long before people were no longer contagious.

    Today we have big pharma trying to put the fear of death into our heads, so we support their jab agendas.
