Professor Derrick instanced the IA

which was descended from Max Jukes,
a drunken and lazy wastrel. who in
ITO married woman who was the

ants 300 had died in poorhouses, many

The Jukes family had cost the state al.
together $1,250,00O. Contrasted with
this was the family of Jonathan Ed

became the ancestor of long line of

Miss Derrick attacked the modern
theory that education and good envi

said the first surgeon of whom he
could find any record lived at the time
of the fifth Egyptian dynasty and
must have been court doctor to the
Pharaoh some 1000 years before
Christ.
The first surgical implements of
which anything was known. said DR..
Sandwich. were splints found in the
Nubian desert. In one place a grave
yard was found. and here were re-
mains of bodies with fractured limbs
that had been set with bark splints.
One was a right thigh bone that had
been broken and was still held in posi-
ton by a workmanlike splint and
bandages. All the knots were true
reef knots, and the wrappings showed
how the strips of palm fiber cloth
were set just as good surgeon would
set them nowadays, so as to use the
full strength of the fabric.
In other cases. said DR.. Sandwich,
bodies were found with compound frac-
lures where the broken ends OF the
bone had broken through the skin.
Death seemed to have come very
quickly after an accident of this kind,
for no trace of healing of the bones
was to be found
