From Native American medicine to the early scourge of smallpox in crowded, unsanitary colonial hubs, students can see how far medicine has come since colonial times. Images of Algonquian medicine men and artifacts from a 17th-century surgeons medical bag give students candid visual points of reference to reinforce the vast differences between colonial medicine and the safe, sterile, often high-technology practice medicine has become today.Samuel, Charlie is the author of 'Medicine in Colonial America', published 2003 under ISBN 9780823965984 and ISBN 0823965988.
