Students will also read about the four humors (the fluids thought to control or create all dis-ease in the body), early modern "quackery" (treatments thought to cure illness, not based in a solid understanding of the body), outbreaks of diseases such as syphilis and Ebola, and the development of medical science and research. There is no prerequisite for the course. However, students should be ready for a Wabash work load that will include several short papers and one longer paper at the end of the semester.
