This historic account of early medicine in Wisconsin begins in 1836 during the frontier days. Old photographs and advertisements provide a fascinating window on horse-drawn ambulances, fresh air schools (part of Milwaukee's anti-tuberculosis campaign in the 1930s) and such "modern" conveniences as Doctor's Delight, a Cadillac Model K with a price tag of $750 (with top, $800).
