    1. [OHLORAIN] "Illness and Medical Care in the Late 19th and Early 20th Century"
    2. Have you ever wondered what that "cause of death" meant and what kind of medical treatment was available at the turn of the last century? Come join us for a unique look at the lives of our ancestors as they faced some common and not-so-common health issues of their day. Lorain Co. Chapter of OGS welcomes Pat Gerstner who will present "Illness and Medical Care in the late 19th and Early 20th Century" on Monday, May 14, 2007 at the North Ridgeville Public Library, 35700 Bainbridge Road, North Ridgeville. Pat is the retired Chief Curator of the Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western Reserve University. Ms. Gerstner's career included research in medical history that touched on alternative health practices and the development of medicine in Cleveland. Since her retirement in 1998, Pat has continued her research in Cleveland medicine, particularly in early 20th century public health issues. Social time is 6:30 pm; program and general meeting at 7:00 pm. For further information, contact Jean at atmmom1@aol.com . Hope to see you there!  The public is always welcome to attend.
