This was so fascinating I had to research some more. And all these 9 wonderful cures for apoplexy from the late 1800's to early 1900's. I wonder what happened to them all. And if you die from apoplexy just take, Dr. Sibly's Re-Animating Solar Tincture.
The word derives from the Greek word apoplēxia (ἀποπληξία). Hippocrates used the word in his day to describe stroke.

Dr. Sibly's Re-Animating Solar Tincture - So use this to prevent death from 1793
In all circumstances of suicide, or sudden death, whether by blows, fits, falls, suffocation, strangulation, drowning, apoplexy, thunder and lightning, assassination, duelling, &c., immediate recourse should be had to this medicine, which will not fail to restore life, provided the organs and juices are in a fit disposition for it, which they undoubtedly are much oftener than is imagined.
I do wonder how you successfully get the medicine down the throat of a 'perishing' person.

Just think, these nostrums may come back as the height of medical intervention if our medical insurance/HMOs price everyone out. Remember to ask your doctor about the validity/efficacy of these, you are not to self-medicate.
In 100 years we have gone backwards, today there are no cures available for stroke when 100 years ago there were 9 of them. :roflmao: :dribble:
