The History of Quack Medicine

Sunday Sept 11, 2022 at 5pm

"It Hurts When I Do This"

An illustrated history of Quack medicine through the artifacts of The Museum of Interesting Things.

In the handful of centuries documented by mankind, Medicine evolved through science discoveries and practice, experimenting with the technology of its era in a quest of understanding the human machine , suppressing pain, disease , and probably death itself. But regarding the past, some of the techniques employed by our relentless ancestors seem rather odd, inappropriate or sometimes...very brutal. Join us for a savory experience of pseudoscience and bizarre health machinery hosted by Denny Daniel, proud collector and owner of The Museum of Interesting Things. Daniel will retrace the evolution of medical device advancements and the lack thereof through an interactive demonstration including everything from quack medical devices, electrical and magnetic, radiology, to prosthetics, glass eyes and civil war and early 1900’s surgical tools, dental devices from tooth keys to 1800’s foot pump dental drills, and medicines that worked (or didn’t)! Come see and feel actual items from the 1800’s and 1900’s. We will cure you of your ailments.

- Our short biography:

The Museum of Interesting Things:

The Museum of Interesting Things is a traveling virtual or live interactive demonstration/exhibition of antiques and inventions that goes to schools, libraries and events and inspires kids and adults to be curious. We bring back tinkering. I like to say it shows kids and adults that their ipods did not pop out of thin air! Like a circus...just no elephants!

The Secret Speakeasy is a live and virtual benefit to help the Museum reach more kids and adults as well as a way for more people to see and enjoy the thingies and see 16mm films and hear vinyl records! Each week has a different historic them
