How the term quack was originally conceived by #87118 17 year 1 of 1 (100%)
I saw this on a documentary the other day. During the great plague and other diseases physicians would practice their art wearing a mask shaped like a ducks bill, filled with all manner of herbs and spices to keep the diseases at bay. This is how the term quack was originally conceived - and has been used ever since to describe medical practitioners of all kinds. Viewed 2182701 times All #87118's Answers |
