Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Brothers of Charity are a religious order dedicated to the care of the sick and infirm. In 1716, its members accepted a request from the French Crown to run a hospital in Louisbourg. The Brothers at the hospital worked as surgeons, pharmacists, nurses and in roles related to religious duties. They operated the hospital for close to 40 years.
During the 1758 siege, three Brothers were killed during the bombardment of the town and hospital. Soldiers formed the majority of the patients at the hospital, often due to accidents as well as warfare. Bleeding, enemas, herbal purges, sweating and starving were common medical treatments used for a wide range of afflictions. Most people avoided going to the hospital if they could, due to the risk of contagion. Illness was thought to be caused by an excess in the body of one of the four humours: blood, yellow bile, black bile or phlegm (type of mucus produced in the lungs and lower respiratory tract). |
