Come and join author Caroline Rance for a discussion about the dubious world of Victorian quack cures. Drawing on Wellcome Collection material, Caroline will be telling the stories behind the adverts that peddled powders, pills and potions that purported to cure every ill.
There will be a chance to ask questions.
We’ll be in the Viewing Room. It’s next to the Library entrance on level 2, which you can reach by taking the lift or the stairs.
