In the 1930s, Listerine cigarettes were created. The tobacco was infused with the same antiseptic oils used in the mouthwash for a "cooling and soothing effect." Listerine cigarettes were evidently not very popular because there is almost no record of their existence.

Midwifery Bag, c.1866 - containing destructive & non-destructive instruments. This bag would likely have belonged to a male midwife/obstetrican as female midwives traditionally did not use instruments when delivering babies in this period.

This knuckle-duster belonged to dentist Frederick Smith. Smith was a dentist in Chesterfield. He carried this knuckle-duster as protection from "highwaymen" on his weekly horse drawn cab journey to his practice in Alfreton.

Francisco Torti's Tree of Fevers, 1712. Torti, an Italian physician, was the first to systemically study the medicinal effects of cinchona bark (the source of quinine), also known as Peruvian or Jesuit bark. Intermittent fevers, the branches with bark on the left, responded to cinchona, while continuous fevers, the branches without bark on the right, did not. The intermittent fevers were probably due to malaria, an endemic disease in much of Europe well into the 20th century. #MedEd #MedHist

Tinted, double-hinged spectacles, c.1790. Many opticians believed green or blue glass was easier on the eyes and would reduce glare; while clear glass was too soft and would distort images.
This extraordinary example is from the Wellcome Collection in London.
