From the Publisher
Would you rather sleep on a bed of corn husks or a bed of feathers? Would you rather drink urine or have leeches suck blood out of your body? Long ago, people lived very differently than they do today. They had different medical practices, homes, foods, and jobs. As readers come face to face with gross, odd, and perilous aspects of days gone by, they will never look at history the same way again!
