Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough By Stephen Spaulding, MD
We live in an age when much is understood about infectious diseases, and there are effective treatments to many of the diseases. But in the 17 th -19th centuries that was not the case. Epidemics of lethal diseases were feared, “consumption” killed many, and even more common infections could become fatal. This presentation will give an overview of the diseases that our Scarborough predecessors faced, their impact on life in southern Maine, and how our forebears dealt with them.
