In this series, the life and times of our ancestors and their health care is revealed. The two underlying themes are how our ancestors dealt with their own health and how the medics coped with each new disease or epidemic that came along. Volume 2 covers diseases through the centuries in some detail ranging from evil spirits in the head in medieval times, various epidemics and hereditary diseases to childhood disorders. The section on accidents at work covers agricultural work to the Industrial Revolution and much more. This volume also examines some unusual cures and remedies, especially those in eralier times, and uncovers some myths and folklore too.
