Victorian era medicine was in transition from superstition and quacks to hospitals and modern science. The 19th Century was still a time when the working classes didn’t have regular access to healthcare and so street doctors stepped in to fill the gap…and fill their pockets. Some were no more than phoney physicians and exploited the poor and needy with dishonest cures and worthless potions, so that those already suffering grinding poverty and poor sanitation were tricked out of money with false hopes. You’re going to hear the story of Victorian London’s street doctors, as told in an account from 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith. • Do you like history and mysteries?
