The Hebron Historical Society is offering a program about early medical history at its May 15th program. Staff members from the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry will share 18th century health topics from birth through death. Discussion will lead from simple herbal remedies to bloodletting, leeches, amputation and more. Different solutions were utilized to cure palsy, consumption, dysentery and infection.

Join us in this venture to learn how medical practices have changed through the years, or not! Would you have ended up with a "cure" or as a "corpse"? Some of the herbal remedies are still recommended today. Various herb plants will be available for purchase.

The doors at Old Town Hall will open at 7:00 so that all can meet, greet, and look around the building. The program will begin at 7:30. The program is free to members, and it is hoped that others will make a donation to help support our building maintenance and other expenses
