A Glimpse into the History of Medicine.. From Magic to Modern Medicine

This book presents a simplified picture of the history of medicine throughout the ages, from the era of the first man who treated disease with magic to the era of science in the twentieth century. It is a story that extends over seven thousand years in which human thought developed, and the successive appearance of a number of greats of science and medicine whose names are remembered in history.
The story of the history of medicine is full of many important topics related to the progress of man himself, and it is in itself a study of the life sciences. Medicine is only one of the important branches of these sciences, and a historical study that shows us how thought triumphed over superstition. This study has yielded, over the past decades, wonderful victories in scientific research that have led to many contemporary discoveries. Thus, medicine has developed from its primitive era and its practice by experience only to its present era and the great scientific progress it has achieved. Despite this, there are still some mysterious gaps between its scientific facts that still need investigation today.
