The injuries, disease and peculiari-
ties of the people who lived in the val
ley Of the Nile from prehistoric until
early Christian times, a period Of
over 5000 years. are shown in q
pathological collection on view at the
Royal College of Surgeons in London
The collection was obtained during the
exploration of fifty-seven cemeteries
In the area of the Nile valley lying i'm
mediately south Of the pillars of Ko-
nosso, which mark the frontier Of an
Client Egypt.
The survey was carried out under
the direction Of Captain Fl. G. Lyons
Of the Egyptian government. In one
grave were found the abdominal Or
gans of woman so well preserved
that It was possible to say that she
suffered from appendicitis, which Is
considered to be the earliest evidence
Of this disease. Typical LESSONS OF
govt were found in an early Christian
subject
A pair Of splints, with bandages
were found on the forearms of q young
woman's body, both the forearms hav.
ing been broken just above the wrists
The splints are almost identical with
those used at the present day.
