The Royal Indian Hospital of Mexico City was established in 1553 by King Charles V. Hospital records provide important details concerning the problems of diseases, epidemics, and public health issues in Mexico City. Serving as many as 2,500 patients per month, doctors at the hospital treated the majority of patients for smallpox, venereal disease, tuberculosis, and rabies. Physicians prescribed Aztec herbs and remedies along with standard medical treatments that included quarantine and bloodletting.<ref> John S.
