OUR knowledge of the Medicine known to the ancient Indians is at present extremely limited. I was made painfully aware of this fact in the course of preparing my edition of the two old Indian medical tracts preserved in the well-known Bower Manuscript of the fifth century A. D. The exigencies of that edition led me to a closer study of Indian Medicine, and the present treatise on its osteological doctrines is one of the firstfruits of that study.
