The Evolution Of Modern Medicine — William Osler

Our knowledge of Egyptian medicine is derived largely from the remarkable papyri dealing specially with this subject Of these six or seven are of the first importance The most famous is that discovered by Ebers dating from about 1500 B C A superb document one of the great treasures of the Leipzig Library it is 20 23 metres long and 30 centimetres high and in a state of wonderful preser vation Others are the Kahun Berlin Hearst and British Museum papyri All these have now been published the last three quite recently edited by Wreszinski 7 I show here a reproduction from which an idea may be had of these remarkable documents They are motley collections filled with incantations charms magical formulae symbols prayers and prescriptions for all sorts of ailments One is impressed by the richness of the pharmacopoeia and the high development which the art of pharmacy must have attained There were gargles salves snuffs inhalations suppositories fumigations enemata poultices and plasters and they knew the use of opium hemlock the copper salts squills and castor oil Surgery was not very highly developed but the knife and actual cautery were freely used

The purpose of this course of lectures is to sketch the main features of the growth of these two dominant ideas to show how they have influenced man at the different periods of his evolution how the lamp of reason so early lighted in his soul burning now bright now dim has never even in his darkest period been wholly extinguished but retrimmed and refurnished by his indomitable energies now shines more and more towards the perfect day It is a glorious chapter in history in which those who have eyes to see may read the fulfilment of the promise of Eden that one day man should not only possess the earth but that he should have dominion over it I propose to take an aeroplane flight through the centuries touching only on the tall peaks from which may be had a panoramic view of the epochs through which we pass
