"Health, Healing & Addiction in 19th Century America"

"Health, Healing & Addiction in 19th Century America" will explore how families managed their health in the 19th century. It will investigate what history can teach us about the Germ Theory, technology, and the extraordinary breakthroughs that rocked the medical establishment leading to the birth of modern medicine.
