Hindu Medicine c4.1

c4.1

Henry R. Zimmer delivered the seventh course of the Hideyo Noguchi Lectureship in November 1940. When he died on March 20, 1943, after an illness of a few days, the first lecture and the greater part of the second had been revised and had been in my hands for some time. Among the manuscripts which he left, however, the continuation of the second chapter was not found. There were only nineteen more pages that contain the revised beginning of the third and last lecture of the series, thirty-three pages, corrected but not retyped, that describe certain diseases and cures, and finally two appendices that comprise the translation of the tables of contents of Suśruta-Saṃhitā and of the Encyclopedia of Elephant Medicine.¹
