this reason King Hezekiah destroyed
it. (Rambam) But to say that all the
Rabbis were free from superstition
would be incorrect. Some of them
looked with more or less credulity on
it.
1t is worth while to quote some OF
the prescriptions mentioned in the Tai
mud. To cure high fever II. Huma nd-
viscs Ito take seven thOrns from seven
palm trees. splinters from beams,
seven pegs from seven bridges. seven
cinders from seven ovens, seven grains
of dust from seven door pivots. seven
kinds OF pitch from seven ships, seven
ca raway seeds and finally seven hairs
from seven old dogs.
According to my opinion it is unbe-
lievable to think that Il. Huna seri-
o,,sly meant that this nOtsensible ad-
wise was the remedy for fever. 1t is
more probable to believe that this
prescription of Il. Huna was hidden
irony against the superstition that was
being spread throughout Asia at the
time.
The advise of II. Jochnnen against
burning fever is also superstitious but
appeals more to the Jewish people. ITO
take u Knife made entirely of iron. go
into underbrush and tie n white hair
to it. ON the first day cut n notch into
Il thorn while saying the words of Exc
dus The Angel of the Lord appeared
unto Moses in the Burning Bush The
next day make another insertion in the
thorn and say, The Lord saw that
Moses turned aside to See The third
day return and say God said to Moses.
Drag not I, efthe.' Then bend to the
ground and pronounce these words,
Bush. Bush. it is not because Thou art
the greatest but because Thou art the
huinbest of the trees that the Holy
One. Blessed be He. has made His
glory to descend upon Thee. And as
the fire has lighted before Chananya.
AIiclIoel and Azario and2 fed before
them ~ may the fever which burns in
me flee before me. (TalmuO.
If this practise was inspired by the
Aliens the Kabbis have transferred
this in more singular way and have
given to it a more Jewish impression.
Means have been found of turning pop
Iiilnr superstitions to edifying uses.
.ibaie reports, in the name of his
mother, numerous formulas of rene
dies to relieve the sick. As we see it
1t must have been very difficult for the
ClIachma Hut;ilmud to free the Jewish
mai ion from the superstitiOns which
they had derived throughout the ages
from their non-Jewish ncighbors.
Lots more superstitiOus remedies
ARE found in the Hagada which do not
find necessary to quote. This article
will give the reader Il brief idea that
the Jewish nation always tries to live
up to customs and ways of their neigh
bors.
