Foreword

I started this Book with the idea of making it a comparative study of the ancient Hindu and Greek systems of Medicine in the light of modern knowledge. But I soon realized that the Hindu students for whom this book is chiefly intended, would not be interested in the Greek Medicine, and as there are excellent translations of the works. of Hippocrates, I hve confined myself to the in- terpretation of the Ancient Hindu Medicinealonu.

I was forced to the conclusion that the Ancient Greek Schools of Medicine were indebted to the Hindu Systems for the following reasons :-(1) Indigenous Indian drugs are found in the works of Hippocrates as (a) Kardamomon from Sk. 'kardama' (cardamon) as an emmenagogue in Vol. VII. p. 358; in dyspnea in Vol. VIII. p. 80; (b) Amomon from Sk. 'ela' (Elettaria cardamomum) as an emmenagogue in Vol. VII. p. 358; (c) Peperi from Sk.
