Medicine in Ancient Eoypt.

There is much evidence in inscrip-
uons and manuscripts that the ancient
Egyptians practiced medicine and sur.
gerry extensively. Probably their prac.
tlce was based on little knowledge OF
anatomy. Each physician treated only
one or two diseases. The sick were
exposed in public places 30 that 9th.
ers who had suffered similarly might
tell them of helpful remedies. Dis.
eases OF the eye were best understood
and received both medical and sur.
gical treatment. The most important
medical manuscript found in Egypt is
the Papyrus Ebers, written 5000 B. c..
and discovered in Memphis. Disease,
according to the Egyptians, was due
70 the anger of some deity, the result
OF the triumph of evil in Its struggle
with geod-an idea which is still very
general throughout Africa and Asia
and which at some time has been
prevalent in modified forms in almost
every raee.-Records Of the Past
