150 years ago: Migraine treatment and diet

24 Feb 2022Registered users

I shall never forget the incredible results of such a “counsel of despair” which I gave a migrainous young lady who had nearly reduced herself to the state of the horse who lived upon one bean a day. She was sent to an out-of-the-way part of Germany, where she lived among pleasant people, but where her necessary daily food consisted of  black bread, sausages, sauerkraut, and very oily salads. Mirabile dictu! She was soon energetically devouring these astounding aliments, and in twelve months her migraine was a thing of the past.
