Miasmas:
I found it interesting that people believed that if there was a "bad" smell in the air then you could get sick by breathing in that scent. It's pretty obvious how advanced we have come from that theory because there are some pretty bad smells out there!!

I thought the Humors theory was interseting. In today's society I couldnt imagine a Dr. draining blood out of a person to make them better. This also goes to show like trama said how advanced we have come in technology and medical research. If you think about back then, I'm sure this theory did make perfect sense.
