In the days when people knew very little about medicine, some very strange and horrible cures were tried. Here are some of the worst.ToothachesAncient Egyptians who had a toothache didnt use to go to the dentist, because there werent any dentists in those days. So they used to find a dead mouse and put it in their mouth. They left there for a few hours. Did it take the toothache away? Who knows!? But arent you happy that theres a dentist near you ?BackachesA backache is no fun at all. People who suffer from one have a lot of pain. Sometimes its because a bone in the back is out of position. In ancient Greece, doctors used to cure a backache like this: They tied the patient to a ladder, pulled the ladder up high and then let it fall to the ground. Bang! The Bone went back into the place. Well, that was the idea, but this “cure” probably just made the backache worse!BaldnessOK, its not really a disease at all. But men whose hair is falling out are never happy about it ,are they? The ancient Egyptians had the solution. What did they use to do ?They took the fat of a lion, a hippo, a cat and a snake, mixed them together, and then rubbed the mixture into the mans head. Maybe it stopped baldness, maybe not, but the mans head certainly didnt smell too good afterward.（1）What does the underlined word “baldness” mean?
