A mediaeval trtacleur, "who wandered f'om place to place, selling his nostrum to the ;—Corner. The paper by Dr. George W. Corner on the old antidotes and cure-alls, Mith- ridatium and Theriac, published in the Johns Hopkins H spital Bulletin of June, 1915, has been widely quoted by the press. Naturally it has appealed to those interested in the history of remedies. And since we have so good a collection of old dispensatories in this library, it was decided to use them for an illustra- tive exhibition of the source material upon which an historical paper, like that of Dr. Corner's, is constructed. The Bulletin mentioned above was ac- cordingly, obtained, and forms, in fact, the nucleus of the present exhibit in our show-case. We append a short descrip- tion of this exhibit for the benefit of those interested. On the left of Dr. Corner's article is seen the Greek Ciambic poem of Democ- rates, which introduced Mithridatium to the world in the middle of the first century A. D. On the right is the much longer Greek poem of Andromachus, Nero's physician, which did the same.
