Ah yes. But will they be brave or stupid enough to revive the perpetual pill? So far, my research does not yield any specific you tube video featuring the perpetual pill! The pill (contraception) has dominated the forum. Anyone find anything else associated with this? It's my pet project to find these odd, usually historical, things that are not yet on the Internet. It's a scavenger hunt that only grows more illusive over time!

I saw a documentary about a drug detox and rehabilitation center run by buhdast monks up in the mountains. No maintainance drugs. They have you purge for a total of so many days. Some more, some less depending. The success rate is over 90%. Don't know if its the trauma of it or the endorphins and dopamines that are raised after you throw up that makes them successful. Your body does naturally give you a feel good chemical to make you feel better after the bad feeling it gives you to rid whatever it needs gone from your system.

My father was a rather old soul and "induce vomiting" was the method taught to me from a very young age whenever I had even the mildest of upset stomach. I'm sure I would have used a "perpetual pill" if one had been floating around our family.

My mother, when I was about 6 or 7, would give us a drink of warm water with a hefty amount of sodium bicarbinate. It did a very good job of inducing vomiting, at least in me. Syrup of ipecac was an alternative kept in our medicine closet. Fortunately later she dealt with sick stomachs with hot Vernors. Much better.

Probably?)

@@user-hh7mr7qy6w Not stomach acid, but more specifically nucleotides and amino acids responsible for gene expression, replication and the construction of proteins responsible for the cell's biological functions.

Sometimes boxes contain an inner layer much like a smaller box within them. You will see this in modern skincare where the outer jar has a smaller inner jar. Many reasons for this including that the skincare ingredients might react easily to temperature or the substance of the outer packaging. So an inner packaging/jar made of a different material is used. Sometimes it us simply because the outer material is leather that has been tooled, etched and gilded or straw like in this case. The inner box is plain and made of softer material to hold the cup snug without scratching the ornamental box.

Wonderful item, and great background material. Isn't there another antimonial cup in the National Maritime Museum? It''s many years since I visited but the antimony cup stuck in my mind (unless I'm misremembering).

Yep and years in the future there'll be videos of the barbaric medical surgeries done today. I've got an unknown muscle condition and I have had plenty of weird medical experiments done on me. I got to go to Duke University this year to see if they can help identify whatever it is. I died in August of last year my heart swelled and caused a heart attack. Doctors brought me back after 6 minutes. My family doctor said medical records should I died twice. I had open heart surgery and put on life support for a couple of months. The doctors and the nurses thought I was unconscious the whole time but I wasn't I just couldn't move or talk I never could get their attention. I had no family or friends that were with me I was 400 mi away from home why they transferred me that far from home I don't know.

Well that’s horrifying. Normally if you get transferred that far away, you need services not in the local area, or all the local hospitals are overwhelmed.

I have a question. Why does the rim of the lid change when you you place the cup back into the straw holder. I am skeptical as I have seen the textures change in cut scenes
