Greenville Public Library
1800's Medicinal Practices at Library
Join us Tuesday July 30th at 6:00 as Kathy Creighton of the Butler
County Historical Society presents “Popular Medicinal Practices During
the 1800's.” This program will be lived streamed and is family
friendly.
Cathy shares “Bleed, blister and purge were the preferred methods used
by physicians during the 1800’s.” You’ll learn how medicine
evolved from the time of the Ancient Greeks through to the Civil War
and other facts such as what caused the death of President George
Washington and what education was required to become a doctor in the
1800’s. This will be a fascinating program!
