Orificial Medicine
Orificial... not official, not artificial, orificial.
For about 30 or so years around the beginning of the 20th century orificial medicine flourished. The belief that every ailment could be fixed, all diseases cured, by operating on the orifices of the body. All, but particularly the ones below the belt, were of most interest to the surgeons.
