I think Frankenstein was written around 1811 or so (I could definitely be wrong...;) probably later, but I didn't pay as much attention in school as I should.

I know there was a sort of spoon that was used to remove arrows (bet that smarts...;)

Some of the stranger things were heated glass cups that would be put on the back to draw out disease, etc.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
