For those unable to afford a physician, chemists and druggists emerged at the end of the 18th century offering over the counter medicines, including patent medicines. As we shall hear, not all the miracle cures claimed were effective in practice as there was little understanding of diseases. Judy Hill is a lecturer and researcher one of whose interests is life in Surrey in the 19th Century.
