Will look forward to reading about Maria Gunning. I haven't yet ventured into the 17th century on this site, but have blogged about a couple of equally dangerous late Victorian products here http://thequackdoctor.com/index.php/dr-mackenzies-improved-harmless-arsenic-complexion-wafers/ and here http://thequackdoctor.com/index.php/empress-josephine-face-bleach/ Hi Carlyn – I was looking at your brilliant site via the history carnival yesterday too!

A whole site filled with quackery. I was just researching Maria Gunning - 18th century poster child for death by cosmetics. The ceruse got her. Say, have you written about Aqua Toffana yet? That was the 17th century makeup made from arsenic that supposedly caused some husbands to drop dead when they kissed their wives. Anyway, thanks for the post! What a fantastic blog!

I often find that the modern equivalents of the products I blog about are much more bizarre than the historical versions. Thanks Colleen – glad you enjoyed it!
