Some of the cures were worse than the disease. Ground up and dried mice was one. A lot of Mercury was used in medicine as well as makeup. Herbs of all sorts mixed with different things. Urine was used in many cures and leeches. Bleeding was another thing seen as needed when sick. It was pretty primitive and basic, but the doctor was still not allowed by law to look at the full body nor study a dead one. It wasn't until the late 1800's that medical schools could dissect a body legally.
