Let me give you a litte dive into "medical history"

Up until the 1950s it was a practice to give people a substance called "tartar emetic" to induce vomiting.
It was practically used for every single type of disease.
The most frequent combinations were:
>tartar emetic to induce vommiting (it contains antimony which is as toxic as arsenic)
>mercury (calomel) as a laxative
>and sometimes a clyster of mercury (enema), so squirting mercury up the asshole
>blood letting
