Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Æsculapian Tablets of the Nineteenth Century
Herodotus informs us, that the Babylonians obliged themselves by an ex press law, to carry their sick into streets or places of public resort, and to in quire of all who passed by, whether they ever had, or saw any such distemper as the sick person labored under, and what was done to remove it. Strabo says that the same custom prevailed among the Egyptians.
