Medicine In Ancient Eqypt.

There is much evidence in inscrip- tions and manuscripts that the ancient Egyptians practiced medicine and sur gery extensively. Probably their prac- tice was based on little knowledge of anatomy. Each physician treated only one or two diseases. The sick were exposed in public places so that others who had suffered similarly might tell them of helpful remedies. Diseases of the eye were best understood and re- ceived both medical and surgical treat ment. The most important medical manuscript found in Egypt is the Uapyrus Ebers, written 5000 B. c. and discovered in Memphis. Disease, ac- cording to the Egyptians, was due to the anger of some deity, the result Of the triumph of evil in its struggle with good, an idea which is still very gen. eral throughout Africa and Asia and which at some time has been prevalent in modified forms in almost every race. -''Records of the Past"
