HEALING ART In NINEVEH
Medicines and Other Cures Employed
There $50 Years Before the
Christian Era.

The patient work of the archaeolo-

very fair idea of medical science as 1t
existed in Nineveh $50 years before
the birth of Christ. OF the 10000 tab
| let's taken from the library of Assur-
banipal, the great King of Assyria,
who conquered Egypt and Babylonia
and established his subjects in the de-
serted cities of Samaria, hundreds
deal exclusively with medicine and
contain numerous prescriptions:
"If man has collie make him stand
up and pour over him decoction Of
hypericum and he will recover.
i"Or make him crouch down on his
heels and pour cold water over his
head"
Faith healing seems to be indicated
in prescription which runs IF he is
In weak state, make him bend down,
then raise his legs, and say: May
you get quite WELL Strike him also
on the head fourteen times with your
thumb"
Many prescriptions deal with the
cure Of disorder which was very
common at Nineveh, and which seems
to have been due to overindulgence in
food and drink WHEN man is bill
ious rub him with an onion, and let
him drink nothing but water and alb
stain from food altogether
Among the medicines used by the
physicians Of Nineveh were sesame,
olive oil, castor oil, syrup of dates,
honey and salt. Fasting and massage
were frequently ordered.

IN a blue bathrobe of Turkish towel

through the open window.
What seemed to impress Colonel
Roosevelt most strongly was not the
shooting itself-he seemed to accept
that as a thing of the past to be dis
missed once it was Over-but rather
his hour on the stage of the Milwau-

Colonel Roosevelt showed no indica-

He said he had no means of knowing,
as he delivered the speech he had
promised to make, whether he was
wounded fatally, but accepted as
matter of course that he should go I'M
til he had finished, if his strength held
out. But when it was all over and he
had turned away to go to the hospital,
he said, he found it difficult to keep
his temper when half a dozen men
scrambled over the edge of the plat
form and asked him to shake hands.
They wanted to shake hands" he
said as though it still surprised him.
Didn't they know that it is impossi-
BILE for a man who has just been shot
to shake hands with genuine cordial

Of the shooting itself Colonel Roose-

he mention the name Of John Schrank,

he were discussing the case Of a man
