Unfortunately, we will not be able to ship to PO BOX addresses within Canada during the strike as only Canada Post has access to deliver to those. Please provide an alternate address or we can hold them for you until the strike is over but please note that even then shipping may be delayed as they work to resume normal operations.
Budge, an Egyptologist, Orientalist, and philologist who worked for the British Museum, published numerous works on the ancient Near East. His translation of The Book of Medicines contains numerous prescriptions which he concludes must have been written by physicians both "ignorant and superstitious." Budge may be referring to recipes such as: "the brains of a weazel dried and drunk in vinegar" and "mice dung, with the ashes of burnt wasps, and burnt hazel-nuts." Such rituals as "To stop bleeding at the nose ... Put a piece of hot hog's turd as it comes from the hog, up the nose" might make the patient prefer the disease.
