History of Indian Medicine

Containing Notices, Biographical and Bibliographical of the Ayurvedic Physicians and Their Works on Medicine

Summary

This is a reprint of the first major scholarly book on the history of Indian medicine. It was awarded the Griffith Memorial Prize for the encouragement of advanced study of science and letters by the Calcutta University in 1909. This is a pioneer work of its kind and traces in detail the steady growth of the ancient science of medicine (Ayurveda) from the Vedic times upto the advent of the British rule. To make it complete the learned author has given the account of the prominent sages who promulgated this science. To know the history of medicine in ancient India is to know the entire domain of Indology, as the teachers of medicine were sages who were seers of the Vedic hymns, elaborated the philosophical systems, speculated on the existence of God, and were, in fact, concerned in the intellectual history of ancient India.
