Carroll Gallery Exhibit: Quackery: The Age of Questionable Medical Marvels
See this exhibit of some of the so-called medical marvels of the day during the late 19th and early 20th century. Many of these “curatives” were not just ineffective, they were downright dangerous. Learn about the societal and economic forces that unleashed a wide range of questionable treatments on the public driven by get-rich-quick schemes in the miracle cure business. Check out Prof. Hudzik’s Medicine Wagon—a replica of what would have been used to purvey such cure-alls, complete with a QR code to hear what his schpiel would have sounded like!
Daily 10 AM to 5 PM during store hours.
