Ancient Hospitals.

/ cannot tell why it is, but the i'm
preston exists that hospitals are mod
ern things. On the contrary, they are
among the oldest.
Twice as many years before Christ
as Christ was before us there were
hospitals for the insane in Egypt. Al
Surat there is in use today hospital
founded three centuries before st.
Paul preached his sermon on Mars
hill. There were hospitals all over
India long before the world saw the
birth OF the Christian religion.
Pagan, Buddhist, Christian, NOLAN
medan alike have had asylums for the
sick. When Greek athletes were run
ming their races in the first stadium
Aesculapius conducted hospital not
far away.
Leprosy was more of human
scourge in ancient days than it il
now, SO that it was natural that tbs
first special hospital built in any Eng
disappearing land should be one fol
lepers in London about eight cen
turtles ago.-'The Historian" in thu
Kansas City Star.
