The ducking stool? Burning at the stake?

Back in Colonial times, midwives & herbalists had preparations to “bring on the menses” and “regulate the menses” — and could advertise them in newspapers.

I keep thinking of that turn of phrase. What else is Mifepristone but a means of privately bringing on the menses in the very early stages of pregnancy?
