== Importance of Doctors ==

There were very few centres with doctors in the Kelly Country. The importance of doctors have not changed. But the practice of medicine has changed greatly. Nearly all the qualified doctors had been trained in England or Scotland.

[[Beechworth|Beechworth]] was about the only town in the Kelly country with a large hospital, but there were hospitals in Kilmore andWangaratta. Smaller towns such as Alexandra and Mansfield had a cottage hospital.

The newspapers were full of advertisement for various pills and other treatments.

This was a time when many children died from disease and mothers died in child birth.

Diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough were a constant threat ([[The Alexandra and Yea Standard, Gobur, Thornton and Acheron Express at KellyGang 1/6/1878|Alexandra1/6/1878]])

Men died from accidents on farms and there were many accidents involving horses.

== Links to the KellyGang ==

The families of the '''KellyGang''' seldom had opportunity to see a doctor. Most mothers gave birth at home and few could afford a doctor. The Government engaged the services of one of the best surgeons in the colony, Dr Charles Ryan, and brought him up to Glenrowan to look after Ned Kelly. He needed to be kept alive so he could be tried and hung.

== In 1876 there was a Scartel Fever scare ==
