Tobacco smoke enema -- it'd be really difficult for me to make this stuff up. Who knew?
From the linked in Wikipedia entry:
The tobacco smoke enema, an insufflation of tobacco smoke into the rectum by enema, was a medical treatment employed by 18th-century European physicians for resuscitating drowning victims and other purposes.
The stimulation of respiration through the introduction of tobacco smoke by a rectal tube was first practiced by the North American Indians.[1] In 1745, Richard Mead was among the first Western scholars to recommend tobacco smoke enemas to resuscitate victims of drowning.[2] One of the earliest reports of resuscitation by rectally applied tobacco smoke dates from 1746, when a seemingly drowned woman is reported as being successfully revived after, on the advice of a passing sailor, the stem of the sailor's pipe was inserted into her rectum and air was blown into the pipe's bowl through a piece of perforated paper.[2]
