Video - Shocking Truths of Victorian Medicine

Did you know that during the Victorian era, people believed in the healing power of electricity? They would use devices called "electrotherapy machines" to shock themselves back to health. These machines were used for a variety of ailments, from headaches to depression. Not only that, but people also thought that drinking radioactive water could cure illnesses. Yes, you heard that right - radioactive water! So next time you have a headache, maybe try some aspirin instead of shocking yourself or drinking radioactive water. Stay safe, folks!
