Myrtle Mills, a proper Victorian lady who has endured “every illness known to man” will offer her perspectives on the myths and miracles of Victorian medicine. A traditional lady, Myrtle shares a bit about the life of Elizabeth Blackwell and discusses topics such as hygiene, home remedies, pregnancy protocols, disease prevention, and “modern dentistry.” The result is a light factual look at medicine at the turn of the century.

Actress Janet Parnes will come in Victorian costume and share many humorous and unusual historical facts.
