It's free, and if your 'cure' doesn't work you can imply the person didn't try hard enough. Same reason why most 'magic potions' include hard to achieve steps

Same reason why most 'magic potions' include hard to achieve steps (steal church parchments, estract the liver of a dog, etc.).

- hennsen 8y agoBig and heavy - requires anatomic knowledge (you know there was no Wikipedia showing exactly where that dog carries it’s liver)...
- vixen99 8y agoits liver
- hennsen 8y agoThanks! Very important!
- DanAndersen 8y agoYou don't need academic knowledge of anatomy if you grow up in a culture (that of medieval peasants) where hunting, cleaning, and cooking animals was likely common. Much can be inferred from analogy, in the way the non-human dissections were (and still are) used for training surgeons.
- hennsen 8y agoMany assumptions about the knowledge of the persons who shall apply the guidelines - but might be right.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoProbably in the same place as a sheep or a pig. A butcher would have no problem finding it. ;)
- hennsen 8y agoProbably. Clearly if you happen to have a butcher at hand to get you the liver. Not sure if nowadays you could just bring a random dig to a butcher and ket him extract the liver for you - might be hygienic standards preventing to do it. Earlier might be the belief that dogs are dirty etc. but i don’t know...
