The Origin of Medical Practice - Chapter IV - Charles S McMichael - 1969

Charles S McMichael

Antiquity refers to what is ancient or obsolete. When applied to physicians, it traditionally refers to those who practiced in a bygone, distant, ignorant age. However, the mere passage of time IS NOT sufficient reason to defame an age and its people as obsolete! It is a wrong assumption to dismiss the physicians of those ancient times as any more ignorant or obsolete than those of today! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
