The Museum of Riverside’s newest exhibition, Quackery & Cures in the Victorian Age, explores the nonsense born out of the invention of confusing new medicines to address the pain of incurable disease.
Throughout Heritage House, amber bottles will illuminate local history and delve into the larger landscape of Victorian life, in sickness and in health. Features include nineteenth-century medicine, photographs, medical textbooks, and a set of lancets used for bloodletting.
