To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the section on the treatment of wounds it contains the following prayer : — ' Oh Ra, creator of the gods, pass ye me along, renew ye me, avert from me all evil things, all evil maladies, all wounds in the flesh of these limbs.'* In earlier times these prayers are much more common than during the later dynasties, when the physician seems to have relied more upon treatment. The various papyri from which I quote deal of course with practical medicine and not with physiology ; no distinct defini...tion as to structure or function is to be looked for in them ; only as associated with diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment do we get statements as to the nature of the heart, the vessels, and the movement of the blood.
