"Take a trip to the seaside, it'll cure what ails you." "Doctor, I cannot afford that." "Leeches it is then!"
If we're sticking to the early 1900s, then you're far more likely to be prescribed Laudanum rather than leeches.
Laudanum being heroin suspended in alcohol.
Eh, it's laudable.
Laudanum is a 1% morphine solution. Morphine is less potent then heroin. It is a different drug.
