EMBARRASSING BODIES
Of nether regions, errors of digestion, and unwholesome indiscretions
CHAFING
Riding on horseback, we well know, galls and chafes the inside of the thighs: the best remedy for accidents of this nature is to rub the parts with the foam which collects at a horse’s mouth.
– Pliny the Elder, The Natural History, c. AD 77–79
A CERTAIN AND SIMPLE CURE FOR PILES
Take 8 cigars; rub them fine.
1 handful the inner bark of elder.
1 gill hog’s lard.
Boil all the above ingredients together, and, after it becomes cool, anoint the part a few times a day.
– Standard Cyclopedia of Recipes, 1901
