The intellectual Development of the Arabians is guided by the Nestorians and the Jews, and is in the Medical Direction. The Basis of this Alliance is theological. Antagonism of the Byzantine System to Scientific Medicine. Suppression of the Asclepions. Their Replacement by Miracle-cure. The resulting Superstition and Ignorance. Affiliation of the Arabians with the Nestorians and Jews. 1st.
The quackeries of miracle-cure, shrine-cure, relic-cure, were destined to eclipse the genius of Hippocrates, and nearly two thousand years to intervene between Archimedes and Newton, nearly seventeen hundred between Hipparchus and Kepler.
The study of the various branches of medicine was also pursued by others out of the immediate ranks of the profession. Mithridates, king of Pontus, thus devoted himself to the examination of poisons and the discovery of antidotes. What a fall from this scientific medicine to the miracle-cure which soon displaced it!
