Product Information

Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Pharmaceutical Association: At the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Held in Philadelphia, Pa., September, 1876, Also the Constitution, by-Laws, and Roll of Members <p/>There seems to be no doubt that this papyrus is one of the forty two ao-called Hermetic books of the ancient Egyptians, thirty-six of which contained their philosophical works, and six the various branches of medical art, namely, treatises on surgery, anatomy, therapeutics, diseases in general, Ophthalmology, and gynaecology; the Papyrus Ebers being the treatise on therapeutics. The work betrays an astonishing knowledge of a great variety of remedies, and shows that in the sixteenth century before our era there were learned men in Egypt, who could make intelligent observations of disease, combine complicated recipes, and use them with judgment. To the student of the history of pharmacy the work is invaluable. In connection with this subject mention must be made of a recent and very valuable contribution by Prof. Fliickiger, entitled Docu mente zur Geschichte der Pharmacie, and consisting of a compila tion of over one hundred drug and medicine lists and tariffs of German towns, ranging from the year 1558 down to the middle of the last century, the consultation of which, as in the case of the papyrus alluded to, must prove of great value to any author en ga'ged in the history of pharmacy. <p/>About the Publisher <p/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
