Surviving the 18th Century was a very risky challenge. If war or Indian raids did not maim or kill you, you could always succumb to a plethora of lethal or debilitating diseases. Medicine was very far from being organized, standardized, or regulated.

Disease was believed to be caused by Miasmas or a noxious form of “bad air”. The Four Humors needed to be put back in balance through relatively mild herbal therapy to bleeding, blistering and purging.

Learn about healthcare, disease, diagnosis, and treatment, even quackery, in the 18th Century.

** Pre-paid registration is required for the lecture, and seating is limited.**

General Admission: $12.00, DLMA members: $10.00

Space is limited, so register on-line, today.
