I have a vintage edition of State Board review, I found this folded up in it. I'll have to post some pictures from that. Some very interesting questions about how to make a turpentine enema...

Turpentine enema??? OMG...we've come a long way, LOL
Mustard footbaths....must have missed that one in skills lab!
My grandmother used to rub mustard on our feet, place saran wrap over them and then put socks on our feet when we had a fever! Who knew? I thought it was an old wives tale.
The language used in that book's treatise of enemata is so formal, so very different than writing today. I just love it. I had no idea that the plural of enema is not enemas (which makes total sense...stigmata, scotomata, etc).
