EGYPTIANS BEAT HARVEY.
Circulation of the Blood known to
Their Doctors 5000 Years Ago.

Circulation Of the Blood Known to
Their Doctors 5000 Years Ago.
The Harveian grafton at the Royal
College Of Physicians, London, was de
livered this year by DR.. Richard
Cation, F. r. c. P. In the course Of
his remarks he said that Harvey was
almost anticipated 6,O0O years ago by
the priest-doctors Of Egypt in his mo-
mentous discovery of the circulation of
the blood.
AS far back as 1000 B. c. Egypt had
works on medicine and anatomy, and
one brilliant genius-forgotten nova
days and omitted from the cyclopedias
-1-em-hotep, priest of the sun god Ra,
and physician to King Torsothros, be-
came so eminent that he was revered
as a demigod after death, a temple
was built over his tomb, and in his
honor hospitals were raised in Mem
phis and other cities. Here the priest
physicians treated the sick and en-
balmed the bodies of men and sacred
animals.
These were probably, DIR. Cation
thinks, the first of mankind TO acquire
rudimentary knowledge of the move
nlent of the blood Their papyri con-
tain intelligent references to the heart,
the blood vessels and the pulse. OF
the heart in particular they knew
much, and their writings refer to it's
enlargement, fatty degeneration, dis
placement, palpitation and pericardial
effusion. One remarkable passage Of
these old-world inquirers speaks of
distension Of the heart and shortness
of breath as occurring because the
blood has stagnated and does not cir
culate properly.
Not Greece, therefore, but Egypt,
long before Galen and Hippocrates,
was the motherland of rational medi-
cine and anatomy. The views Of the
Greeks on the circulation of the blood
were almost exactly those which the
Egyptians had taught many centuries
earlier.
On one remarkable means of treat
ment for incipiient valvular disease Of
the heart which these long-forgotten
Nile doctors taught DIR. Cation laid
great stress. 1t was the method reg
commended at least 1000 years go to
let the heart have as much rest an
possible wise injunction, said the
Harveian orator, which we may yet
practice with advantage. I-em-hotep
seems to have been an all-round
genius-physician architect, astro1l-
omer, alchemist-so illustrious that
after death he was reputed the son Ct
the supreme deity, Ptah-all this and
yet nearly lost to fame.

Had Enough of Artillery.

An amusing incident occurred CT a
concert by Thomas Preston Brooke
and his band during a recent toar Of
the New England States.
Among the early arrivals at the
opera house were an elderly gentleman
and his wife, from. the country, and
they were shown to seats well toward
the front of the house.
When the curtain arose, revealing
the fifty musicians attractively
grouped on the stage, their natty uni
forms and resplendent instruments
completing picture of dazzling effect,
the old gentleman from the rural dis
trict was all enthusiasm. Gee Will
nken, Manda, be they all gOin' TO play
at onct?" he calculated, to the amuse-
ment Of everyone seated near him.
A storm Of applause greeted the re-
nowned bandmaster when lie ap-
peared on the stage, which seemed 10
mystify our old friend. 'Thats a fine
lookin' teller, but he amt played nuth-
in yet" said he. whats all this hui
labaloo about, anyway? Is he goin' to
play tune on that huskin' pegg" Just
at this moment Brooke's baton was
raised, there was an instant OF eager
expectancy. and then the band struck
up a stirring march. When the music
ceased the old gentleman was in ecsla-
cies. He applauded and stamped his
feet vigorously, then jumped up out
of his chair, waving his hands in the
air and whistiing like a gallery god
When his wife pulled him back into
his seat he shouted: by cricky.
Manda. / never heard such music IS
that before. Seth Tibbitts and his
old fiddle don't amount to shucks:''
And so it continued throughout the.
concert, Uncle Reuben growing moro
enthusiastic with each number.
Near the end Of the program was
the anvil chorus from II Trovatore,",
rendered with spectacular appur-,
tenances. During this selection SIX
red-shirted blacksmiths occupied the
front Of the stage, and played the an
vii accompaniment to the music, while
sensational effect was produced by
the firing of sixteen electric cannon at
regular intervals.
When the first gun was fired, the
rustic lodged excitedly, and began to
get nervous. The next discharged add
ed to his discomfort, and when the
third cannon went off he grabbed his
hat and started hastily for the door,
followed by his faithful spouse.
AS they disappeared through the en-
trance the old man shouted back at
the doorkeeper: "B'gosh. 1 got enough

She Fought for a Life.

Nurses are among the heroic fighters
Of the world. The Contagious Hospi-
tai at North Brother Island. New York,
has recently been the scene of a brave
sacrifice on the part of young nurse
who displayed that love than which
no man hath greater. She gave up her
life to save that Of a child. The New
York Sun tells the story:
At the Polytechnic Hospital a little
girl developed an alarming form Of
scarlet fever. 1t was necessary to
remove her to North Brother Island,
and Miss Mailer, a graduate of the
Rochester University and the City
Hospital Training School, volunteered
to go into exile with her. At the is

seemed hopeless. For two weeks, night

For a County Seat.

The announcement that San Pedro
r. r. Co., is about to expend 5000,
600 in making permanent improve
ments at Caliente IS good news for
the North end of the county. 1t sig
nifies too that the Company regards
it as the only reasonable place where
a division point can be made on its
line for making up trains, etc. In al
dition to the depot round house and
other buildings proposed it is also
reported that machine shop may be
placed there.
Parties interested in selling land at
the Muddy have recently been agitat-
ing the question Of moving the county
seat to that point from Phoebe. Such
agitation at this time is altogether
premature, and if it were not, still
Moapa presents no point for the loca..
ion of 1 town near the road and has
nothing to recommed it. Three-ffths
of the taxpayers Of the county must

The Phoebe branch of the railroa
promises to be built shortly after the
main line is completed. The town
would then have rail communication
and it would be unnecessary to change
at all, as change of the county seal
will involve further Indebtedness &c
