HISTORY OF MEDICINE SHOWN.
U. $. National Museum Contain,
Interesting Exhibit.

An exhibit pertaining to medicine and
its history is located on the north
gallery Of the east court of the National
Museum building devoted to American
history and industrial arts. According
to its many descriptive and instructive
labels. the theory of diseases seems to
have been studied from time immemor-
ial and attributed to many and divers
causes.
In primitive times disease was held
to be a malevolent spirit. assuming pni-
mate or inanimate material form and
attacking the victim either with or with
out provocation. Some of the savages
and half-Civilized tribes believed that
this spirit acted at the suggestion of
human enemies possessed OF supcrnat-
ural powers, thus allying it with sor-
Gerry. wItChCraft and Conjury, although
other tribes supposed that disease was
caused by offended spirits of the dead.
