UNITED KINGDOM - MARCH 23: Cover of 'The Million' (4th August 1894), featuring an illustration by Harry Tuck, portraying a pharmacist peddling his wares from a soapbox in the street. The 19th century saw a profusion of quack doctors who travelled around selling a wide range of remedies which they claimed could cure all sorts of diseases and ailments. In practice, the majority of the preparations, which were often made up by the �doctors� themselves, were completely ineffective and in some cases actually dangerous. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
