How was acne treated back in the days of no modern medicine?

Sulfur Packs: In the historic archives at the mayo clinic, prior to systemic medications (accutane, antibiotics) or lasers, patients received special compounded topical medications and hot packs that contained precipitated sulfur and salicylic acid.
