If you need a medical diagnosis or treatment, you are lucky to be alive today! In medieval times, your diagnosis and treatment would depend on your bodily fluids, the seasons and even the alignment of the planets!

Kill or Cure is the title of a new exhibition at SLNSW and curator, Elise Edmonds, tells us about the cures and the many fascinating objects, mainly from the rare book collection of the library.
