's About Ancient Doctors
Persian Scientist Propounded
Views Only Recently Accepted
By Medical Profession
An eighth century scientist, musician,
artist, philosopher, and teacher pro
pounded many views that are just being
accepted by' the scientific world today,
according to Dr. Julius Taylor, a sur
geon of Columbia, in an address at the
Alpha Epsilon Delta banquet Wednes
day night.
This scholar, Rhazes, was born in 850
A. D. in a small town in Persia, Dr.
Taylor pointed out, and from his child
hood was devoted to intellectual studies.
He was deeply interested in philosophy
\and logic, and with this trend of
thought he became engrossed in religion
and poetry. After the age of thirty
his great life work began when he opened
a hospital in Ray, his home town.
Rhazes gave the first authentic descrip
tion of smallpox to the medical world,
Dr. Taylor declared, and urged the use of
cold water for treating inflammatory fe
ver. He described an instrument for the
removal of foreign bodies from the esop
hagus, and taught that jaundice was
caused by an obstruction of the bile pas
sages.
His account of the curvature of the
spine was the fullest made up to his
day, and he was the first author of an
entire book on pediatrics. Further, this
versatile man of medicine realized that
the nerves of sensation and motion may
be affected separately. He was also the
first man to introduce chemical prepa
rations in the practice, and was success
ful in the treatment of mental diseases. I
"Rhazes was the most noteworthy in
tellectual follower of the' Greek philos
ophers of the seventh to the fourth cen
turies B. C. that mankind produced for
1900 years after the death of Aristotle,"
Dr. Taylor concluded.

Last Wednesday Night
Methodist Pastor Chooses "Seeing
It Through" For Topic
Of Address
"When we begin a new task, are we
going to be able to see it through, or will
next week see us back in the same old
rut ?"
Thus began Rev. Wilson Weldon,
Carolina alumnus and assistant pastor of
the Washington Street M. E. Church, in
his talk entitled "Seeing It Through,"
delivered to members of the Carolina
Christian Service C!ub at their meeting
last Wednesday night in Flinn Hall.
"When we give our time to organiza
tions and clubs, we owe it to that club
to see its tasks through to the end. One
of the tests of Christian character is
ability to see life through."

Janitor Jim Joins
Insurrection Declarer
The governor's thunder was definite
stolen last Saturday by no less a pers<
than Jim, the janitor. Citing as his at
thority, the University catalog of' 189
and as his legal advisor, Judge Smit
Jim dleclared tenement 18 to be in a sta,
of insurrection, insubordination, andil
sanity, and to be under the Marshal
e law ; Jim also swviped the governor's late
5' wrinkle and dlened the Supreme Court
say "you Canty do that."
e The proclamation, wvhich wvas post
"on the tenement (door, stated that the bo
s -had continuopisly and maliciously violat
t, the (Judge) Bankhead Act as set forth
the Sears, Roebuck catalog of 1913.
further stated that unknown dlenizens
d that tenement had been seen drinking ha
s tonic and thereby exposing their fella
t sufferers to a condition of brawvl-hea
s edness.
- Even such an old thunder stealer
Jim could not, however, do that to ti
LI Goverunor. In one swift, bold stroke 13
n Exelec retaliated, with interest,
t(declaring the Law Library to be in
state of insurrection and coming dov
n with his army and taking charge. Mer
- bers of tenement 18, who are the cli
users of the library, felt that this w;
too much and quickly evacuated enen
territory, with an avowed intention<
never returning. With the insurrectio
ests so well taken care of, one wou
y think that there would be a period<
r qluiet, but such was not the case becau
e a new declarer of insurrections enter<
the field.
e Dean J. Nelson Frierson put in I
claim to fame by declaring the enti
e law school to be in a state of insurre
.. tion and went the Governor and Ji
e one better by declaring the senior class
