Reader 3, Level 3, You Wouldn't Want To Be Ill In Tudor Times! by Kathryn Senior.

A humorous - and gruesome - introduction to medicine and illness in the Tudor period with information on: training and hospitals, superstitions and witchcraft, battlefield and war surgery, the plague, false limbs, herbs and medicines, and childbirth. Funny, full-colour illustrations throughout complement the historically accurate but engaging and humorous text.
