Episode Description

We're going back in time to one of our first episodes to learn all about Thomas Holloway in the 1800s and all the fake medicines of the day. We talk about his history, legal lying in advertising, and what people will resort to when they cant afford a proper doctor. 

This story has everything! Opium, asylums, Charles Dickens, and even college for women!
