We go on assignment to track down the truth about a strange old medicine called “Besotted Man.” Along the way, we learn about old-timey embalming methods, the Second Balkan War, the shelf-life of honey, and the perfect wine pairing for unusual dishes.  We didn’t get into the medicinal use of ground-up Egyptian mummies, sadly. All music in this episode by Dan Butler. Lucky Millinder’s “The Grape Vine” used for additional commentary.
