Thanksgiving is near at hand, and
Thanksgiving without a turkey is no
Thanksgiving at all. for the laity the
ordinary barnyard turkey is plenty good
enough. but the amateur sportsman
must have wild turkey. so he gets a
days leave. dons his hunting toys and
strikes out for the woods.
Although theoretically man cannot
hunt In Virginia and Maryland without
a permit. the farmers in these two
States do not seriously object TO the
city man poaching Il wild turkey or two

Circulation of the Blood Was Under
stood by Their Doctors 5000
Years Ago.

The Harvpian Grafton at the Royal Col
lege of Physicians, London. was deliv-
cred this year by Or. Richard Ca,on. +.
II. G. p. In the course OF his REMARKS
he said that Harvey was almost antici
pated 5000 years ago By the priest doc
tors of Egypt in his momentous diScov
cry of the circulation of the biocd
As far back as 1000 b. c. Egypt had
works on medicine and anatomy and one
brilliant genius-forgotten nowadays
and nmmitted from the cyciopeGias-
l-em-hotep, priest of the sun god Ra,
and physician to King Tursothros be-
came so eminent that he WAS reycreo as
a demigod after death. Il temple was
built over his tomb. and in his honor
hospitals We're raised in Memphis and
other cities. Here the priest physicians
treated the sick and embalmed the
bodies of men and sacred animals.
There were probably, DR.. Cation thinks,
the first of mankind to acquire rudi-
mentary knowledge of the movement of
the blood. Their papyri contain intelli-
gent references to the heart. the blood
vessels and the pulse. OF the heart in
particular they knew much, and their
writings refer to its enlargement, fatty
degeneration, displacement, palpitation
and percardial eifusion. One remark
able passage of these old-world inquir-
ers 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 motherand of rational medicine 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
mentor incipient valvular disease of the
heart which these long-forgotten Nile
doctors taught DR.. Cation laid great
stress. 1t was the method recommended
at least 1000 years ago to let the heart
have as much rest as possible-a wise
injunction, said the Harveian orator
which we may yet practice with want
age. l-em-hotep seems to have been an
all-round genius physician. architect
astronomer, alchemist-so illustriou:
that after death he was reputed the son
OF the supreme deity, Ptah-all this and
yet nearly lost to fame.
