Lucretius describes the first efforts of prehistoric man to re- pair injuries received in conflict with wild beasts. and from the remotest known ages savage tribes possessed remedies for wounds and general ail- mcnts. Egypt furnishes the earliest evidence of the existence of medicine, q book written on papyrus about $500 E. c. treating of the preparations of drugs.
 Every physician in ancient Egyp. be- longed to a sace1iotal college and the sick attended the nearest temple where. on the payment of fees from which the medical staff was maintained, they ,ob- tained the services of the physician whose line of study was best suited 10  their case.
 While the Egyptians. the Israelites the Indians and Persians had in vary ing degrees practiced healing by in ternal remedies. it is to Greece that we must turn for the foundation of ration al medicine.

 The physician on being duly quali- fled took the Aesculapian oath. receiv- cd patients in his own home or visited them at their homes. Many cities kept physician for public service his po- sition being comparable to that of the health officer of these times.
 Hippocrates was the first to give the profession of medicine sonnet thing ap- preaching character and direction by denying to disease a supernatural ori- gin. From God comes one disease as well as another" he writes but nothing happens save in conformity with nature" From Hipprocates. too. we derive the threefold method of di. Lgnoses followed by physicians in all ages. viz, to ascertain the past. to ex- anime the present and to forecast the future
