Believe it or not, there were natural remedies, some of them quite effective. For example, inhalations of sulphur have been used since Roman times to combat acute asthma.

There have always been medicines. Where do you think most of the modern meds came from? Plants,herbs Trees. Aspirin is harvested from the bark of the asper tree. Malaria serum also comes from the bark of a tree. It was harvested quite often during the Vite Nam war. To this day there still harvesting plants to make meds.

They used a lot of natural medicines, such as roots and herbs. I don't think they had some of these illnesses back in the day though. Some are caused by the lifestyles we live now a days, and the environment of today's society.

Life was not only much more difficult — it was usually much shorter. Many childrfen and mothers died at childbirth. Many children died before they were five years old. Lifespans started to increase significanly in the late 19th century (with increased public health methods, cleaner water, better plumbing and waste disposal, etc.) and very much mroe in the 20th centur as scientific medicine and the development of new medications advanced.

heh it was a diferent world. A world that darwin ruled.. simply speaking if you couldn't beat whatever desiease or complication you had, you simply died. As it goes, survival of the fitest.. if you were less healthy or unable to beat something you died, natural selection. Although there were many many less health problems, people ate much healthier and lived in healthier environments so there were less conditions like asthma, and cancers, and desieases.

No. because many people live for medicines, even when their doctor say they do not need any medicines.
