A Peep into Medical Antiquity

A Peep into Medical Antiquity is a work originally based a speech by N. H. Kassabian, M.D., which explores the history of medicine according to the ancient peoples, including the Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians, and Israelites. The original author, who delivered this speech before the Kent County Medical Society in April of 1911, was one of the most respected physicians of his day and named one of the top ten surgeons in the State of Michigan. We have chosen to publish A Peep into Medical Antiquity because we believe both the content and its author warrant the recognition, and because it will prove a valuable supplement to the study of history, medical and otherwise.
