SUMMARY:Medicine and Surgery in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:Pus\, boils\, enemas\, and vomiting... amputations\, trepanations\, lithotomies\, and bloodletting. Perhaps not the most polite conversation topics\, but these were common occurrences in 18th-century life. How would you have fared in sickness and in health during the time of Washington\, Franklin\, Adams and the founding of our Nation?\n\nDiscover the story of Hugh Mercer\, a Scottish medical exile\, local apothecary\, friend of Washington\, war hero\, and a local legend in the town that bears his name.\n\nLearn about Revolutionary-era physicians\, the advancements in science\, the origins of medicine\, and the surgical tools they used. A fascinating blend of science\, history\, grossness\, and entertainment!\n\n\n\nNo RSVP required\, our free premium programs this winter are sponsored by Martin's Famous Potato Rolls and Bread\, and the Americana Corner Preserving America Partners program.
