"Prepare to gasp, cringe and chuckle, as you discover the primitive practices juxtaposed with the scientific advancements that characterize Victorian medicine.
Janet Parnes of Historical Portrayals by Lady J will escort you through topics that include hygiene, patented “remedies”, kitchen-cupboard concoctions, pregnancy protocols, disease-prevention myths, dentistry and discoveries that paved the way for medicine as we know it today.
The result is a light factual look at medicine at the time of corsets, calling cards and decorum!"
