ANCIENT DISEASE.
Smallpox First Described by Arn,

smallpox First Described by Arabs
I'm Sixth Century.
The literary as well as the patholocic
history OF smallpox presents many
items OF very special interest. All read
ers OF the clouded annals OF the Mid
Ole Ages are acquainted with the fact
that Arabian writer's wore for many
centuries the recognized apostles of phi
losophy and physical science
the sundry departments OF medicine
and surgery-to the various nations of
western Europe. And Ii Is to one of
these, Abu Bekker Mohammed ben
Zechariah "a. ID. S5O-93o). the earliest
and most original of all the great Mos
lem physicians, that medical science
and medical literature are indebted for,
tne nrst recognition OF smallpox rs a
distinct disease and its first description
IN written language. This venerable au-,
-thor1ty Is generally known to posterity
as Rhazes, name which he derived
from Raj. the place OF his birth. His
original description of this formidable
disease has been made familiar to Eng
Ash inquirers through the medium OF
Dr. Greenhilrs translation. In addition
10 his observations on disease proper
the powers OF observation Of Rhaxes I'm
physio2nomy are demonstrated by such
items or Information as, "a man with
large ears is stupid. but long lived"
and IN rational therapeutics by his rec
ommendaton Of the practice OF the
game OF chess as a cure for melan-
cholia. The antiquity of smallpox is.
rs might well be expected, lost In the
midst of ages, but the definite state
ment has been made by Arab historians
that 1t first appeared In the Abyssinian
army or Abraha at the siege of Mecca
In the course OF the SO called elephant
war or A. d. 500 (or SID. The legend
IS given as follows by one OF their best
historians. Tabarf: ''Thereupon came
the birds OF the sea in fiocks, every. one
with three stones, In the claws two. and
ia the 'beaE one; and they threw the
stones upon them. Wherever one of
these stones struck there arose an evil
wound, and pustuIes all over. At thar
time the smallpox first appeared and
the bitter trees. The stones undid then,
wholly. Thereafter God sent n torrent
which carried them away and swent
them into the sea" Even one of tho
elephants, having ventured within the
sacred enclosures. was struck by n stone |
and fell a victim to the smallpox.
