WHEN SURGEONS BELDOM CUT —Unsucccssful surgical operations were few und fnr between in the Babylonia of forty centuries aso and only men of rare and reckless courage advertised themselves us wieldera of the forceps and scalpel. Only in rare instances would they consent to operate, and then their interest in their patient probably was more than a professional, scien tiiic or monetary one. The penalty for failure was the loss of both the surgeon's hands and the reward of success was not 0f a sort to provide silks and fine linens for the man of science. The maximum charge permitted by the State for nn operation was 10 shekels (about $6). This could be collected only rrlnu tho aristocrats or gentlemen, including professional men and tuerchants. The specified fee from the middle clas-s was 5 shekels ($3) and from slaves 2 shekcls $1.20)’. This information has been gleaned from a recently decipher- eli tablet, the "Code of l-lammurabl.’ of 2000 B.C.
