Today's Hours: The library is open today from
Victorians treated sickness and injury very differently than we do today: home remedies, natural cures, bleeding, purging and prayer. Some things worked and some did not!
This lecture will discuss the various therapies for disease, some that worked and some that did not. We will also talk about treatments prescribed by doctors, such as bleeding and purging, and touch on how Civil War doctors treated battlefield injuries.
