magic
antibiotics
radiation
witchcraft

Answer 1

Europeans treating the Black Death AKA the bubonic plague used what was considered magic and witchcraft to treat the disease victims. They also used other unsuccessful methods such as 'bloodletting,' rose water, and avoiding bad smells, which were thought to cause the plague. As bacteria had not been discovered, antibiotics were not used. Radiation had also not been discovered.

Answer 2

Black death, also known as the bubonic plague was one of the worst pandemics that ever happened, killing around 1/3 of Europe's population. It spread to Europe in the mid 1300's from China.

Black death victims were treated through magic, witchcraft, prayer and other methods. As for the two other options, they used medicine, but not antibiotics and radiation hadn't been discovered yet (it was discovered in the 1900's)
