Her IL children brought into the kingdom OF

was that she might see her long absent mis-

Medicine I'm the Middle Ages.

In an entertaining article in the
Nineteenth Century on MEDIEVAL med
icine, some curious prescriptions are
given A person whose right eye was
inhsmed or bleared was recommended
to ''take the right eye of Frogg, lap
it in q piece of russet cloth, and hang
it about the necl:" The skin of q
ravens heel was prescribed for gout.
Diffident young men will be interested
in this: 't you would have a man be-
come bold OF impudent, let him carry
about him the skin or eyes of o lion or
cock, and he will be fearless of his
enemies; nay, he will be very terrible
unto them" The tendency to reti-
cence, which is so common a fault Of
parlisments, municipal councils, etc,
might be cured by this treatment: 'lf
you would have him talkative, give
him tongues, and seek out those Of
water frogs and ducks, and such crea-
lures notorious for their continual
noise making"
If a man had sounding or a pip
ing in his ears" he was recommended
to put oil of hempseed, warm, into
them, "and after that let him leape
upon his one legge upon that side
where the disease Is; then let him
bowe doune hys care OF that syde, if
haply any moysture would issue out. "
The remedy for nose bleeding was to
''beat egge shales to pouder, and sift
them through Hnnen cloth, and blow
them into hys nose; if the shales were
of egges whereout young chickens are
Matched, it were so much the better. "
Powdered earth worms mixed with
wine were recommended for jaundice.
Toothache might be relieved by an ap'
plication of the fat OF ''little greene
frogges," or of the "graye worms
breathing under wood or stones, hav'
ing many fete." Frogs and toads were
favoritc remedies, especially wher
treated in some grotesquely barbarou'
manner. Popular prejudice against
medical science to-day is declining
and will probably disappear alto
gether; but in the Middle Ages il
seems to have had avery rational basis

sensation among scientific men By
announcing the discovery Of fossil
