How were 'vile humours' removed from the body?

Medical treatment, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was aimed at ridding the sick of "vile humours" by vomiting, purging, and bleeding. The treatment was often the immediate cause of death. Some prescriptions called for "letting" more blood than is now known to exist in the whole body.

Why was the U.S. Secret Service created?

By the end of the Civil War, between one-third and one-half of all U.S. paper currency in circulation was counterfeit. This served as the catalyst behind the creation of the U.S. Secret Service. On July 5, 1865, the Secret Service was created under the U.S. Treasury Department. In less than a decade, counterfeiting was sharply reduced.

Why can't you visit Canyon de Chelly?

The magnificent 1,000-foot cliffs of Canyon de Chelly (pronounced de shay) National Monument in northeastern Arizona is a magnificent place. Its relative lack of fame owes much to the continuing presence of the Navajo, for whom the canyon retains enormous symbolic significance, although they did not themselves build its cliff dwellings. Most visitors are restricted to peering into the canyon from above, from overlooks along the two rim drives. There's no road in, and, apart from one short trail, tourists can only enter the canyons with a Navajo guide.
