knew 1t and prescribed remedies that
might now be tried advantageously.
Galen recommended sneezing; Aetius
approved Of cupping instrument with
great heat to the breast; Alexander be-
lieved in an oxymel Of squills; Alsaha-

Rhases put his trust in calefacients,

Plates.

Individual plates for table use were
unknown to the ancients, who held
their meat In their hands or employed
the fiat wheaton cakes then made on
which to hold their victuals. They are
first mentioned in A. d. GOO as used by
the luxurious on the continent, and in
the ninth century they had come into
common use both in England and on
the continent. They were made Of
wood or some kind of earthenware, the
former material being preferred be-
cause it did not dull the knives.
