which occurred in the year 3273* Anno Mundi, was fought near the place now known as Cong in the county of Mayo. In that conflict, through which the

East into the countr}', the leader of the latter, King Nuada, lost his arm, and the physician, Diancecht, staunched the blood and dressed the wound. It is further stated that Miach, the son of Diancecht, had an artificial hand wrought in silver for the

the impression that this early surgical contrivance was

remarkable mechanical production of great

artistic skill.

The belief that there were three hundred ^'^"''^ and sixtv-five ' joints and members in the anatomy human body is also mentioned in the old Irish treatise " Na Arrada," which is said to have been written about the eighth century.

From numerous instances recorded by chroniclers, from the introduction of Christianity in the fifth century to about the end of the fourteenth century, some idea may be gathered of the medical practitioners of that
period. The " Liaig," or Leea (radically the .same as the old English leech), as the physician was called, ranked with the higher craftsmen and the workers in the precious metals, and he belonged to the The Ceiuc ^

wounds, and gave certificates as to their character, upon which depended the legal liabilities of the person who had inflicted the wounds. If the leech thought he could cure the wounded man, he gave security for his and in return received proper treatment

or Lye, being a corruption of the Irish signifying doctor or physician, it is

probable that the family of this name was amongst the oldest of the hereditary physicians of Ireland. In a state of society such as prevailed in a country so subjected to constant warfare and repeated predatory invasions as Celtic Ireland, the presence of "one " skilled their wounds to heal was an obvious necessity in the entourage of each knight or chieftain. That
office

was accordingly held in high esteem, and was habitually filled by the head of some one of the families of hereditary physicians, whose social status and emoluments were distinctly defined by the Brehon

Code, and who were then freely rewarded by their patrons and patients. Thus, Ballygally Castle was the property of the Neillans, who were hereditary physicians

The reputation of these hereditary Irish physicians long outlived that of most of the other professions and arts of the remote period of which this system was the outcome, and was not confined to their own country
even
in the seventeenth century. similar system to that which prevailed in Ireland still exists in some parts of India, where, as Voyse states, the families who claim the right of

of Killinagh, in the county of Cavan, where they have long enjoyed a wide reputation as the possessors of a cure for hydrophobia, by a method of treatment which has been handed down from an unknown antiquity, and the secret of which has been carefully preserved in their hands.

Fabricius, a noted Swiss physician of the XVI century, recommended that the military chest should be furnished with no less than 362 varieties of medicine, some of which contained

as many as 64 ingredients. The complexity of arrangement, the huge bulk and great weight, the liability to breakage, and the complicated inconvenience of medicine chests persisted until the introduction of Tabloid Medical Equipments.

This shape originated by Burroughs Wellcome & Co.

PROF. CASPARI,
"

in his

Treatise on

Pharmacy, says :

usual shape of rectal suppositories is that of a cone with a rounded apex, but the difficulty of readily introducing them into the rectum has led to the designing of a new shape by H. S. Wellcome, of London, the great advantages of which become apparent when it is remembered that the bulbous end is inserted into the rectum, op'^mon and, that as soon as the greatest diameter has been passed, expulsion of the suppository is impossible, by reason of the very contractile force of the .sphincter muscle, which renders retention of the ordin.ary conical shape often so difficult."
