Description
Diana Enright will re-create a late 19th-century medicine show. In a time when doctors were hard to find and health insurance did not exist, people tried to cure their ailments with patent medicines. These "cures" were promoted at medicine shows, which were part entertainment, part advertising and only slightly medical care.
