Speaker 1 (00:10):
My Heart podcasts, hear more gold one on one point
seven podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Playlists, and listen live on the Free iHeart app on
the cutting room floor today. You like stories from medical journals,

(00:35):
don't you very much? So? Do you remember the olden
days they used to use leeches to cure various ailments.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yes, they thought that by draining the blood or drawing
the blood is that we call its.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Drawing the blood out. And it was also they would
make people. You would draw blood out of people because
they thought that people had too much.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Blood and get out the bad humans.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But in a way as well, that is it kind
of is true.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
If you've got too much iron, you go and you
go and get rid of a bit of a bit
of blood there.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
And they used to put maggots onto here woods. They
do it again now they're still doing forms of that now.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
One thing back many many years years ago, I'm thinking
about the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Here there was a theory that to cure constipation.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You would get your practitioner to put fingers up your
bot bite and that would sort out the constation, probably
would us.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
That's why he went into accountancy, so only how to
work something out with a pencil.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
So there was a thing and an invention that was made.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Because the doctor said, let's invent something to stop me
having to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I don't want to do this anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
So they came up with a rectal dilator, and rectal
dilation was something which would cure everything from constipation to mental.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Illness, so they thought.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
In fact, the guy then invented the rectal dilator.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Doctor F. E.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Young wrote in one of his journals, which he was
the editor of as well. It was a magazine praise
rectal dilation as a cure you are for insanity, claiming
that at least three fourths of all the howling maniacs
in the world were curable in a few weeks after
they had a bit of his rectal dilation.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Before you get to exactly how it worked, I reckon
if you went into any emergency ward, there'd be a
variety of people who had been trying to do their
own ritual dilation.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm howling maniac.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, so I put this broomstick up my bomb.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I fell over in the shower, and next minute my
mental illness was cured.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
For some reason, an egg whisk went up there. So
what was his why it was in the shower. I
don't know what.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I've got a picture there, which doesn't help for people
in the podcast. But as you can see, they look
like four bombs that they would drop in World War two.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Spark plugs, yeah, spark plug no no.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I like the bombs getting dropped over the Germans in
World War two. And they were made of hard rubber,
and they came in sets of four sizes.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
How do you know what size you are?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
The instructions here were fine out see. I guess the.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Instructions were maybe used by any intelligent person. Their use
accomplishes for the invalid just what nature does daily for
the healthy individual.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, it doesn't if you don't pierce it from the outside.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Ever, if you will prescribe a set of these dilators
in some of your obstinate cases of chronic constipation, you
will find them necessary in every case of this kind.
This is just word salad from the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
A salad would help word or otherwise.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
So it starts with the little one there.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I see, So you just bore a bigger hole time.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Downy locks on the three. That's fine.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
There was also this one's perfect.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
There was a lot of to be used, directions to
be used only on prescription of a physician's advice, no doubt.
You go and see doctor young himself and you said, Doc,
I've got a head ache, and he goes, I've got someone.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Else says I've got a hang. Now I've got something
for That've.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Got such the thing. But there's a whole rave members
of positories. That was a thing.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, you know, did you have la sets when you
grew up? Why don't we always talk about number two's
and bottoms on this podcast. That was a big deal
when I was younger. I don't know. It was my
mother's obsession, but we were constantly giving those little chocolate
blocks that were laxatives. Clearing you out was such a
big deal. Cod liver oil.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Did you ever have that cod liver oil on.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
A spoon with a bit of maple syrup or something?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, we have maple syrup. We just got the og,
just raw cod liver oil.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
The kids these days are getting in a capsule in
avided flavored gummy or something fanitized by Guy Sebastian.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And his missus. Well, this is.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's very specific. Whereas this one we had. Mum made
this solution of sulfur, and it's on a tea spoon
and you drink it, you know you had it was
a viscous.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
My mom was telling me a story the other day
about my grandfather and grandmother. When she was little, she
had the worms all the time, and they used to
give her animas regularly to get rid of the worms.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
My grandfather, my father, tells this same story that he
had a grandmother who used to come and visit. She'd
get off the train at Chiligo, yep, from Chiligo. She'd
come to visit them wherever they were living at the time,
and she brought her own apparatus with her. He said
it looked like a small tuba. And he still remembers
bending over and looking at the corner while she went

(05:36):
to work.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
So what did she do? She just gave me an animal, gave.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Him an enema.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
And what would that do? I clear you out?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I think everyone was obsessed with clearing you out.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Anima's good or bad for you.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
They can be very bad. And people get obsessed to
those coffee animals and.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
All that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, because coffee is what it did. Yeah, and you
and your bum hole is quite a receptive area. That's
why that's try to take it to parties. That's why
the drugs. That's why that story about Stevie Nicks. I
don't know if this is urban myth or night, but
there was a roadie that used to blow cocaine up
abum because quick absorption, but also her septum was falling away.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well, and she used the other septum. But this is
the stuff about suppositories. They're quickly absorbed through that part
of it.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's a very sensitive area. The anus is quite an
amazing muscle. I really go with me on this.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Because it can it can release gas, it can release fluids,
and it can release solids.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's quite amazing. It's quite what are you laughing at this?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Quite laughing at this is a podcast and we're talking,
we're broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Because that's amazing stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Why doesn't it have a ticket take parade? It does
it every day.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
My wife's auntie, I know what this story is. She
had to get she had to get her anus measured.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Because it was was she going for one of these dilators.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
It was too big and I thought.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean it was things falling out.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, there was troubles that the doctor size, measure it
with breaks out of measuring tape. I imagine, But Adie,
what's the standard size for your anus?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
A doctor would know. I don't know. You know, let's
not speculate.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Because I'm always very mindful of my anus. I'm very
appreciative of it.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
How do you make a living talking at it?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well? You know, but it is, and I think maybe
we should all give it.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Don't have a day where we just wear a brown ribbon.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Brown ribbon day. This could be a thing. So there
you go. There we end this. Now there's a blast
from medical history.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
