UI #22 - The Fake Epidemic

Incredible true story of two Polish doctors that used the microbe Proteus OX19 to create a pseudo typhus epidemic, which saved the lives of over 8,000 people.  Also learn which US president was first to appear on a circulating coin, the "doctor" who convinced women in NYC to disrobe before robbing them, the ashman that inherited a fortune, and two brothers that tried to teach in the same religious school.  Retrosponsor: Milk of Magnesia Facial Cremes.
