Excerpt from The Barbers Company The monks also, (as evinced by their herbals, ) early practised the art of healing, by the imbibing of drugs and potions, as also in the shaving of their own heads, for the so called and in surgical operations; and the Jews also from the earliest period, up to the tenth and twelfth century, were almost the only practitioners of the healing art, evidence of which, is to be found in Elisha raising the widow's son, Hezekiah, being directed to place a lump of green figs upon his boil, or rather carbuncle, which is always very dangerous when on the spine, and later on, in the parable told by our Lord, of the Good Samaritan, when he took up the injured man, who had been assaulted by thieves and poured in wine and oil, oil as a healing measure and an emollient, and wine, down the man's throat, as a stimulant. These prae titioners were called Chirurgeons, from the two Greek words Xeip the hand and ???'p'yov a work, and when combined meant one, whose profession or occupation is to cure diseases or injuries of the body, by manual operation, (in fact bone setters and rubbers, more familiarly called shampooers, ) but who extended his Art into the use of medicines internally, which had for its principal object the cure of external injuries.
