LACONIA — The late 19th and early 20th century is considered the golden age of quackery. Michael Cross, Ph.D., will present a lecture discussing many of the scientific and medical "quack" tonics and devices prevalent during this period as well as their modern counterparts. Join Taylor Community Wednesday, July 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Woodside Building. This free event is open to the public.
Cross, associate professor of chemistry, is department chair of natural sciences at Northern Essex Community College where he teaches chemistry and forensic science.
