During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, significant changes occurred in medicine. New treatments were developed and medical training improved. But, with a physician’s fees out of the reach of ordinary people, most relied on the advice of their local apothecary.
Suzie Grogan transports readers through 100 years of medical history, offering a picture of the daily life of a surgeon-apothecary from the making of pills and mixing of potions to tooth-drawing and blood-letting. This talk reveals the world of medicine at the time in all its gory detail, exploring the impact of illness and death and bringing the experiences of the surgeon- apothecary vividly to life.
Donations are welcome.
