Go
back to 1742 and learn how our ancestors cared for their families.
You'll learn from Dr. Mercer's
assistants what combination of herbs, extracts and barks were used to cure
what ails you.
After learning what to take
for your minor ailments you'll be offered the opportunity to fix those
pesky problems such as toothaches. You'll also learn the ‘old’ method
of how the doctor takes the blood he needs from you.
Once you have been offered
those services you will be allowed to look around the remainder of the
doctors office and home.
We personally came away with
a deeper respect for how tough our ancestors were. But it also made
us realize just how easy we have it in today's world.
