∗ Nine *Polomen* (i.e., Brahman, or Hindu) books on medicine are mentioned in the bibliographical section (Book XXXIV) of the “Sui Shoo” (A.D. 589–618). Some of these books are complete in twenty-five volumes, and contain the “recipes of many masters.” References to the “Sui Shoo” are due to the investigations of Mr. T. Y. Leo, late of the Chinese Legation of Washington, D. C.
