But this not all the exorcist had in his bag of

If he did and the patient died, an autopsy
would be held, and he would be judged guilty of
capital crime. The ethics of his calling limited his
methods of treatment to those that had already been
approved by the skill and experience of old prach
toners Hence the system of medicine practised
upon Pharaoh had been handed down almost with
out change through centuries of time AS result
of such system there was little hope of recovery
whenever that illness took serious turn.
This was certain to fill the Pharaoh house with

So as the doctors remedies seen to be value

here entered into the situation
Every Egyptian believes in dreams They
regarded with religious reverence, and, according to
the faith of the people, the prayers of the devout
were frequently rewarded by the gods with an indi-

This belief had become firmly fixed in the
minds of the Egyptians that the sure to
have his innings after the prayers of the household
and the skill of the attending physician had been
baffled.
The sorcerer was always equipped with a little
figure of god possessing, so the trustful Egyptians
thought power sufficient to exercise away the evil
spirit in the body of the sick ruler since sickness
attributed to evil spirits ghosts of the dead taking
up their abode in the body of the sick man.

VvTHEN great monarch of ancient Egypt fell
W i'll it was an unlucky day for him, great and
W powerful Pharaoh though he was
Naturally enough, his anxious wife, the Queen,
''sent for the doctor" And naturally enough, that
ignorant old blunderer with his fantastic and
times filthy mixtures of strange herbs from the Red
Sea and powdered camel flies, rather than
useless, for his vile connections usually upset the
stomach of the monarch and left him little weaker
and worse off than he was before "the doctor
called.
And so it that the almost universal failure
of the doctor had brought about the custom of hav
ing another reliance in of sickness. When Ma
ture took of the patient and he got WELL in spite
of the medical mans doses, then much credit and
considerable gold went to the doctor.
But when serious illness racked the frame of
Pharaoh and the doctors pills and potions avaled
nothing, it customary to send for from
the temple to try his hand The reason for this
that in ancient Egypt small ills regarded
durable by the pretended medical skill of the times,
but serious ailments considered to be the result
of evil spirits which had taken possession of the
patient.
AS evil spirits care nothing for bad smelling and
vile tasting concoctions but supposed to be in
great terror of lamentations and gods of reputable
standing, it naturally came about that instead of the
doctor, it the sorcerer who called in to dis

But the sorcerer always felt himself little supe-

not tied down by the conventions which had sprung
UP IN the medical profession, even in those times.
The doctor, so the sorcerer knew, had to depend
upon the connections he could Gull from his little
wooden medicine chest. And the sorcerer also knew
that the potOns the doctor made from these ground
herbs taken from that chest and passed through

honey usually proved Intellectual in any serious ill

of the dead Pharaoh become cold when preparations
for his burial were set on foot
The reason for this is interesting. The ancient
Egyptians believed that by skilful mummifcation the
kings body would become imperishable, and the
royal embalmers who were held in the greatest es-
TEEN, always demanded that the body be turned
over to them as soon as breath had ceased, to
do the best job possible in preserving their King for
his future life. They knew the carefully guarded
secrets of their art and used only the choicest spices
and purest gums so that it is not at all surprising
that the mummy of the Egyptian king comes down
to US in such remarkable state of preservation.
The dead Pharaohs side was cut open. The man
who did this was then unceremoniously chased from
the house. This was in accordance with the usual
custom of treating the man who made the first cut
in dead body with ignominy and contempt.
And then through this opening the internal or
gans were removed and placed IN four vases called
the Canopc jars The lids of these jars carved
to resemble the heads of the four sons of the god
Horus-the man-headed Mesti, the ape-headed HapI
the jackal Duanutef and the falcon Kebhsenuf.
These were the Genii who guarded the north, south
east and west. The respective jars contained the
stomach and larger intestnes the smaller intesnes
the lungs and heart and the liver and gall bladder

Before the viscera placed in these jars they
were first washed in palm wine. Then followed the
washing of the mummy in palm wine and afterward
it stuffed with myrrh and cassia. The toe nails
and finger nails were attached to the flesh by little
strips of linen saturated with asphatum so that they
would never fall away from the flesh Then the

All was then made ready for wrapping the body

the preserved body in bandages. Here and there
amuets were placed beneath the bandages and on
his breast the holy beetle.

was accompanied by prayers and magic formulate
