Join Joe Berrong, a retired doctor, and Living Historian specializing in 19th century medicine will give a talk and discussion about medical practices, techniques, and medicine of the 1800s. See the antique tools of the trade and learn how they were used.
The French Legation was once home to Dr. Joseph Robertson, one of the first doctors in Austin. Many of these practices were standard to Roberson’s career. Learning about these practices offers perspective of the medical practices that were offered to Austin residents, and a unique glimpse into the history of the era.
