In early times, the tradition goes,
both medicine and surgery were in
the hands of BARRIERS, a. indeed they
continued TO he for many centuries
afterward. The old theory was that
the men of the razor were the wor-
thicst to handle the lancet, and even
in the middle ages the lancet was
the one great instrument of medi-
cine, as bloodlctting was one of
the chief practices of the time. In
the days of old during the opera
ion Of bleeding the patient used
to grasp a stick which the barber
surgeon kept ready for use that the
pain might he lcs,ened, in just the
same way as in the days before chic
roform was invented people under
going severe operation frequently
chewed lead bullets. Around this
stick was twined supply of band
ages for tying UP the arm OF the
patient. When not in use the pole
was hung at the door as sign. In
the course of time painted staff
was displayed instead of the one
actually used during the operations.
