Answer 2

Medical practices and illness in Elizabethan England

Step-by-step explanation:

This book written by Ian Mortimen deals with medical issues in England during the period in which Elizabeth was the queen.

This was a period in which illnesses such as a flu would kill people because antibiotics didn't exist and the lack of hygiene was catastrophic. There were no sewers, people never made the connection between washing their hands and preventing illnesses. As a result, plagues would be very common and people would die on a daily basis.

Very few children survived, for example Shakespeare expirienced the death of his son Hamnet. People would have several children because they knew that only a couple of them would survive childhood.
