Time Out says

This evening event begins with a nineteenth-century-style 'quack' medicine show, then takes over the entire building with talks and entertainment themed around the overlaps between past and present approaches to remedies and cures. Representatives of alternative and orthodox medicine will be on hand to demonstrate and discuss, and a 'Quack Quiz' will test your own medical choices and superstitions. Some events must be booked in advance.
