Quote - 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.

The good ol' Wikipedia says it was published anonymously in 1818, then the second edition in 1831 had Mary Shelley's name on it.

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

 
Actually, I think there's a boutique in Los Angeles where you can get that done today, for about $250 a pop...

:lol:
