Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "An Epitome of the History of Medicine" by Roswell Park is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to remedy the neglect of the history of medicine in medical education by offering a systematic overview of significant facts, events, and figures that shaped the field. Readers can expect a comprehensive exploration of how medicinal practices evolved, influenced by various cultural and philosophical ideas throughout history. At the start of the book, the author introduces the impetus for the work, emphasizing the crucial lessons that can be drawn from the historical mistakes of past medical practices. The preface conveys Park's commitment to providing an accessible text for both medical students and interested laypeople, aiming to enhance understanding of the intertwining of medicine with philosophy and theology. Following this, the initial chapter delves into ancient medical practices among civilizations such as the Hebrews, Egyptians, Chinese, and Greeks, establishing a framework for categorizing medical history into distinct periods, from primitive practices to the more systematic approaches seen with Hippocrates and beyond.
