    During the Antebellum period medicine was largely primitive and unsophisticated and unlike modern medicine today, much of the medical procedures doctors relied on then were unscientific.

As examples, doctors still practiced procedures such as bloodletting, and herbal healing. Not only did these procedures not work, they also illustrated an inherent lack of medical knowledge and understanding of public health procedures. There was also no real public health system.…

Accordingly, theoretical wisdom must comprise both intelligence and scientific knowledge”(Aristotle Ethics, pg. 156).…
