Excerpt from Medical Symbolism in Connection With Historical Studies in the Arts of Healing and Hygiene

In the score Of chapters into which the essay is divided, attention is invited to numerous more or less remarkable matters pertaining to medicine, most of them Of very ancient date, and some of practical im portance. Medical mythology is treated of very fully; and, on this, as indeed on all points, the results of the most recent archaeological and other investigations are given. All I have said is deserving, I believe, Of the consideration Of educated physicians.l The wise man will seek out the wisdom Of all the ancients, says the author of Ecclesiasticus, 2 one who had the tastes Of a cultivated medical man.

Although the essay is mainly on Old things, I ven ture to hold that it contains much which a fairly well read physician will find fresh. The ground gone over has been little trodden before. It may be said, as Pliny did, by way of suggestion of difficulties to be overcome.
