Our very own Richard Best will give us a glimpse of what medicine was like in the 1800s. Richard studied texts of the time, conferred with a variety of medical personal and even attended two autopsies. He will tell us about various instruments, splints, and medicines including how those that were in pill form
were rolled. He will be using and displaying vintage medical instruments in his demonstrations. Most of these are over 150 years old! Richard will also delve into the then prevailing medical theories and how through experience and science medicine began to evolve.

Although this is a heavy subject it is safe for kids and Richard will keep it lively and upbeat.
