Instructor: Dr. David Katerndahl.  Today's class will focus on the fear-evoking and stigmatizing diseases with which our ancestors had to cope, focusing on 19^th Century America.  In addition to discussing infectious, nutritional and maternal-child disorders rarely seen today, we will explore the evolution of military and cancer medicine as well as public health in San Antonio.  Finally, the class will review methods for learning about the medical conditions of our ancestors. "
