Excerpt from The Healers, Vol. 2 of 2 Edward returned to Auteuil next morning, he just caught on Barton's shaven mask a vanishing expression of alarm. "Mr. Graye left for London at daybreak," said Barton, smooth and steady; "I was to say, sir, he'd be back to-morrow night." " 'Tis still wintry for such travel," said Edward. "It come very sudden, sir; important business. You didn't notice as Mr. Graye was looking ill?" "Not ill, only fagged last night." "Commotions is bad for Mr. Graye, sir." "Why, so they are for most men." "Not in the same way. They tries him very terrible." "He is undoubtedly nervous, but he has plenty of stamina," replied Edward. The nervousness would hardly have been credited by those who saw Kenneth alight at Charing Cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Healer Mrs. Goodnow came out on the piazza and scanned the blue waters. She was a thin, slight woman dressed in black lace with glittering stones on her aged, withered fingers. Her eyes still shone keenly in the wrinkled face as she glanced swiftly out across the bay to the little Settlement where the ags above the wooden summer hotel were waving in the breeze. With a shrug of her shoulders expressing mingled indifference and impatience she turned back to the house.

This is a fascinating account of surgery that throws light on forgotten and unknown aspects of its practice from antiquity to the present. It illuminates the rare periods of progress and also explains why there were lengthy times when no original operations were undertaken. Maybury has achieved this by identifying the time and place when each operation was first undertaken. The first of these was the trephination of the skull in Peru twelve thousand years ago, presumably to exorcise evil spirits. This operation over several thousand years reached Europe where Hippocrates described and rationalised it to treat head injuries, it is still practiced today and is the forerunner of each subsequent original operation. The golden ages of surgery took place in Ancient Greece and India and 1,300 years later in Western Europe and the USA. Between these periods, no original operations took place. Maybury explains why this happened and reveals the Greek theory that dominated surgery for over 2,000 years. He describes the passage and translation of the Greek manuscripts and their acceptance in the Arabian Empires and how in turn the Arabic versions strongly influenced Italy and then Western Europe. He also tells of the Edict of Tours of 1163 that devastated surgery and took 700 years to rectify and also the extraordinary modern era when all the tissues of the body were finally operated upon and very much more.
