Hysteria (And It’s Treatment)
British doctors claimed that 75% of all women had hysteria in the early 1900s, when this ancient condition first attained epidemic proportions. People who could afford the most up-to-date medical care had a range of options for triggering “hysterical paroxysms.” Horseback riding and hydrotherapy, in which a water jet is directed at their more ‘private areas’, were both possibilities.
The most common treatment was manual stimulation by a licensed medical professional. The revolutionary mechanized vibrator improved the process’ efficiency and reduced practitioners’ fatigue. Not only did it allow a doctor to treat a lot more patients, but it also required less skill than manual treatment. Hysteria was no longer recognized as a condition by the American Psychiatric Association in 1952. The hysterical account highlights how prevailing societal norms and customs have an impact on medical advancement.

AYDS Diet Candy
“Why take diet pills when you can enjoy Ayds?” With the aid of Hollywood stars, this novel appetite-suppressing confectionery enjoyed decades of success before reaching its zenith in the 1970s.
As you might expect, the weight-loss product was doomed when the AIDS crisis broke out in the 1980s. It didn’t help at all when the brand was changed to Diet Ayds. Products can occasionally fail because of uncontrollable circumstances.
