Persian Tears.

The Persians still believe that human
tears are a remedy for certain chronic
diseases. At every funeral the bottling
Of mourners' tears IS one Of the chief
features Of the ceremonies. Each Of
the mOurners is presented with q
sponge with which to mop off his face
and eyes, and after the burial they
are presented to the priest, who
squeezes the tears into bottles, which
he keeps. This custom is one of the
oldest known in the east and has prob
ably been practiced by the Persians
for thousands of years. Mention is
made of it in the Old Testament.
