Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Medical Journal, Baltimore, Vol. 6: November, 1879 There is no reason to suppose that prior to the 600th year B. C., any essential progress had been made by them, for although the healing art was practiced by them, it never attained any de gree of importance. >confined to the priests, forming an essential part of their divine worship, and not to be exercised by others, its progress was necessarily insignificant. No scientific plan, no union of observation with theory formed the basis of their stud ies, and medicine therefore became nothing more than the art of prophesying, and was confined to a blind adherence to rules for a long time adopted. The son received as a divine deposit, the knowledge of his fathers, and transmitted it to his posterity without its having undergone the least change.
