Programs and Events
Please join us 2 p.m. Sunday, January 11 for Mike Revenaugh's presentation, “Drying Out: The History of the Gold Cure for Alcoholism in Clinton”.
A popular remedy for alcohol and drug addiction in the late 19th century, "The Gold Cure" was available at several businesses throughout Clinton. Discover more about this controversial treatment that involved hypodermic injections of a secret formula, famously containing "bichloride of gold" (double chloride of gold).
The treatment also included a proprietary tonic and a strict regimen that weaned patients off alcohol. In his presentation, Revenaugh will discuss what the Gold Cure was, how effective it may have been, and what lasting impacts it has had on the area and society as a whole.
