An Old Prescription.

- The oldest prescription in existence has been found. It was given as a wash for promoting the growth of the hair of the mother of King Chate, second king of the first dynasty, who reigned about 4,000 B. C. This is the translation : “Pad of a dog’s foot, 1; fruit of a date palm, 1; ass’s hoof, 1. Boil together in oil in saucepan. Directions for use: Rub thorough)/ in.”
