Since the dawn of time that's been the way things are...not because of some fault in us but because it makes sense. Why do we acquire objects? Because they are tools to make us better survive and live. It's incredible how so many supposedly "intellectual" leftists are so poisoned in their minds with ideology and/or women and effeminate men so illogical and allow their hormones to guide them instead of logic, thinking, science that they feel the need to even spread to others their total nonsense. It's absolutely illogical and anti-science nonsense that it would somehow being wrong to try to live a productive, safe life and try to produce as much added value as possible. And about "using those objects to measure value"?? People measure value because that is their measure of usefulness, skills, intellect = ability to survive. Those with the best ability to survive are rightly revered and respected...and emulated so that others too would be as good as possible at surviving. Women above all are proven by science to undoubtedly have hypergamy imprinted in their genes, and for a good and logical reason. How else are they to measure a man's ability to provide? And men undoubtedly compete with each other (which includes learning from each other, even stealing too) in order to be the most providing, the best at surviving. Materialistic = good at survival. Anyone telling you that nonsense leftist drivel that being poor, so useless that you can't buy anything or make your life more easy, allow you to concentrate on productive work is just trying to use that path of spreading ideological lies to gain materialistic wealth for themselves. Just look at all "successful leftists": all of them are rich elitist criminal corrupt environmental criminals. Every single one.

The thing is, women who wore their corsets super tight were frowned down upon at that time as much as now and were extremely rare. The cause for the faster breathing is that the lady wasn't used to wearing a corset and the way it was applied is completely wrong for someone who hasn't had a Victorian corset on. The way you do apply a corset for people who are unfamiliar with them is: every five minutes tighten it til at a comfortable fit. The fashion plates shown are DRAWINGS and show idealised form just as how instagram models edit their photos to make their waistes incredibly tiny, it isn't real. Edit: just like bras they were fitted for your body as well

I’m sure they were very used to it and the ill effects have been exaggerated and it could even beneficial for certain conditions, but it *does* have a negative effect on deep breathing.

You literally can easily find a group that has your same interests like if you are into arts and crafts, you got a community for that so while people in your own community may not be too into it, you still have that community via social media. There are so much positives and negatives it just needs to be better maintained and taught to teens. Is it such a gray area that I feel no one can say if its entirely good or bad.

my mother near her fifties remains afraid of gas stoves . she was a migrant child worker an had grown up with stories very close to home. Co works being found dead from gas in the house. kids coming to school sick from the gas in their camp housing.

They're called white deaths in my country, they're rare but still happen (often with elders tha don't turn off fireplaces or fall asleep while cooking)

Nowadays it's also pretty usual to have both fire alarms and gas alarms, so that makes it much more safer than at that time when those things weren't mainstream or even didn't exist. I grew up hearing the story about how my grandfather and his brother almost died from carbon monoxide, when they had gone fishing and went to sleep in their fishinghouse on an island. The small house had a fireplace where they lit a fire (with wood). When they thought the fire had burnt out, they put the damper in before they went to sleep to keep the warmth inside the house. The only problem was that it hadn't burnt out and when fire doesn't get enough oxygen it starts to produce carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous and can easily kill people since it doesn't really give off any smell , but for some reason his brother woke up, felt light headed and understood what had happened, he then woke up my grandfather and got him out of there, thus saving them from being gassed to death.

I would argue a properly worn/fitted/laced corset isn't dangerous and is amazing. I use one to help support my back and to support the weight of historical costuming.

music is so loud you can't hear the narrator , good work

Splendid episode of hidden killers! Though the sound mixing is a little bizarre; oftentimes the music is louder than the narration.

Dear Great Stories Production Staff: Today, I watched your abovementioned video. All I can say is that I found it to be a great informative video, indeed. If you don't mind I have some question for you about what I watched. 1) What Victorian home did you film this, at? 2) How is it that it was safe for Ms. Lipscomb (the episode host) to handle an arsenic-laced book with bare her hands? 3) Homeowners had constant direct contact with the arsenic environment. What was the impact or rate of death for staff who either frequented the home or stayed (F/T) in it? Was it the same level of risk for them? One would assume that their sub standard 'living quarters meant they were not sleeping all the time in rooms with arsenic wallpapers. 4) For how many years or decades did the use of arsenic in wallpapers go on before the practice was stopped altogether? Side note Q: 4a) Does that also mean -- for example -- that the present royal family is at constant risk as there are portions of the royal Palace that have been around since the Victorian era? Please explain. Thanks.

This is a wonderful presentation. I love that you are willing to try things like the corset. I also like the way your kitchen/boiler-stove expert (Nathan?) presents the facts with a bit of wit.

I love this series! So interesting.

For anyone complaining about the music, just look it up. Heaps of people have uploaded this documentary over the years.

You forgot about the fact they used arsenic in making colors in cloths, esp. greens.

they also used arsenic in plates too. i think that may have been the reason why people thought tomatoes were deadly for quite a long period of time, because they're very acidic, and putting them of arsenic infused plates caused people to consume the arsenic in larger amount than you would like breathe in from the wallpaper. don't you just wanna live in the victorian era sometimes, where everything can (and will) kill you, but at least you have pretty dresses.

I love the Victorian Era! I used to have all Victorian Furniture, I collected Victorian decor and pictures of real Victorian Families. Ppl had class then now it’s just jeans and t-shirts. You make fun of them for their faults but they didn’t know what we know now you have to take into account. However you guys rly shed a bad light on an era I love. It’s pretty sad. I wish it was 1880 now instead of 2022, Nowadays it’s all about social media and Ads, Filters And Netflix.. Life isn’t the same as it used to be 😕

Any of various flies, especially a warble fly, botfly, or horsefly, that bite or annoy livestock and other animals. Erysipelas is a superficial form of cellulitis, a potentially serious bacterial infection affecting the skin. Erysipelas affects the upper dermis and extends into the superficial cutaneous lymphatics. It is also known as St Anthony's fire due to the intense rash associated with it. No antibiotics, what we'd regard as minor injuries or lesions could be fatal. IIRC a president's son died when he got a blister on his heel playing tennis; it became infected with staph and he died of blood poisoning. A United States (Union) general names C. S. Smith scraped his shin while boarding a small boat in 1862; he died of blood poisoning within a month of his injury.

Arsenic has been used until very recently in dentistry. I’m talking until late nineties early 2000s In root canal treatment. To achieve something called mummification of the pulp. Then a non-arsenic pulp devitalizer was introduced. Now the pulp is removed from the first session and root canal finished and filled at once if possible. But I won’t be surprised if arsenic is still used in some countries.

My grandfather was a dentist and I remember asking him about this. He stopped practicing when I was young, but some of his friends kept on going. I had read it somewhere and thought surely not…I was horrified when he said it was true. And thankful that I got my mom’s teeth-they’re shaped weird but for whatever reason she and I seem to escape major issues, whereas my dad and brothers are constantly having to go in

I just like corset style dresses if the dress is strapless. I'm heavy on top cause of my girls so the corset really helps. I don't make it tight at all, about the same feeling of a bra only longer. It makes me feel supported and I don't have to worry about a wardrobe malfunction like with a regular strapless dress

We have such a deadly history of trial and error

What an excellent and informative video! Knowledgeable presenters with something interesting to say. When you can hear them. The instrumental noise (otherwise called music) was so extremely loud in places that it was impossible to hear what was being said. Is the musicians' union so powerful that real information must be denied us?

At about 34:00 there is a newspaper article titled, "FOUR PEOPLE SUFFOCATED BY GAS." The article above it tells the following story: ...nothing was heard of him till Tuesday night, when a policeman of the N Division saw him wandering about Enfield Highway. In answer to questions the lad said he was taken away by a woman and they had been to Southampton, Plymouth, and Bridport, begging during the day and staying in different Workhouses at night. The lad was taken to his home, to the delight of his mother, who had given him up as lost.
