Barbara Weisberg Quotes

Death Was A Constant Fact Of Life. The Reaper Struck With Fire And Drowning; Typhus, Malaria, Yellow Fever, And A Host Of Other Diseases; Accidents That Ranged From The Swift Shock Of A Horse's Kick To A Slow-spreading Infection From A Cut Finger; And Suicide And Murder. More Than One-fifth Of The Children Born Died Before Their First Birthday; At Birth The Average Life Expectancy For An Adult Was Little More Than Forty.6 Medicine At Best Could Offer A Patient Little Help And At Worst Was Lethal, An Excruciating Matter Of Bleeding, Blistering, And Purging With Potions Such As Laudanum, A Mixture Of Opium And Alcohol.
