that the Arabians attained height in the knowl-
edge OF medicine which caused the whole world to
wonder and admire. With them the science of
chemistry had its BIRTH and it is therefore not at
all strange that people so eminently successful in
the healing art, and so persevering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untIring expert
ment, discover remedies far SURPRISING In efficacy
all others, for the OF those diseases incident to
them frcm their mode of life. The greater part of
their time teing spent In hazardous and bloody
warfare with the different tribes they were subject

eases as also the most hOrid wounds, sprains brui-
seq, tumors, swellings diseases of the joints etc.
All these diseases they so surprisingly eff
