Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough

Rescheduled for April 7, 2024 – 2 to 3 pm – Scarborough Public Library Meeting Room.

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.

Register on the Scarborough Public Library SHS Events page, or telephone the library (207) 883-4723 to register.
