15 OREGON DAILY JOURNAL
A NEWSPAPER f OK ALL THE .'PEOPLE
- Dr. Aaron Tllger discussed "Judaism
and Modern Hygiene" at the Wednesday
afternoon meeting of the Jewish Wo
men's Council. The speaker laid stress
on the fact that most of the Jewish cer
emonles were hygienic though under t
religious dispensation, and that the old'
est teachers and lawglveca of the race
knew much of medical -science. That
Moses knew of microbes and Understood
why water became Impure and felt the
need of extreme cleanliness, was re
garded by Dr. TUger as an established
fact. , "The only difference between the
Rabbinical writings and modern hy
genlo writers," aaid the speaker, "seems
to have been that they had no word for
microbes."
In part Dr. Tllger said:
"The antiseptic treatment of wounds.
the ' greatest achievement in modern
medical history, had its -birthplace in
England, and to Sir Joseph Lister be
longs - the honors for the .discovery.
Prior to the discovery of this treatment
and the scientific determination of. the
cause of corruption attending an oner
ation the most successful operation waa
not free from disagreeable accidents and
fatal terminationa were daily occur
rences. The .old school doctor aaid:
"My brother, I have performed the oper
ation ana may uoa heal thee.: The un
certainty of the operation's result was
chleny caused by unclean hands. Blood
poison was regarded as fate, not as
carelessness in disguise.
"There are untold numbers of vege
table and animal organisms 1 whose
germs are suspended In air: these cling
to the (dressing, the Instruments and
hands of. the operator. These Infect
the wound, retard the process of healing
and he Is alone successful uniformly
who prevents the access of germs to the
WOtind. ' ,-;! ;,, ,.:
"Sir Joseph Lister battled 1 against
germs and won. His aim was to defeat
fever, pus and complications, all caused
by germs, and this was done after years
of study. Lister's requirements for
successful operations are still ideal.
They are: . Careful cleansing of the
hands: thorough cleansing of the finger
nails; use of sterilised gown, to cover
the head; sterilisation of ..instruments,
apparatus, eta; the use of sterile dress
ings; prohibition to perform an opera
tion after contact with a corpse, or even
after visiting a morgue, at least not
before' taking a bath.
The enumeration of these require
ments shows to even the casual ob
server that the old Jewish ceremonies
were not merely religious. Hygiene
looked upon from the scientific point of

"According to the Talmud, washing of
hands before meals is obligatory. . It Is
further prescribed that the vessel in
which the hands are cleansed must be
perfect, covered; and water which has
been used for other purposes, or which
Is discolored, . is strictly forbidden.
"The . Jewish , ritual considers the
Anger-nail dirt of danger, and provides
that it should bo destroyed, burned or
burled. Baths were ' in almost every

baths and public bathing places, lakes.
pools .and reservoirs, were common,
"The isolation of contagious diseases
Is an old Jewish institution. This Is
the -law when a man dleth In a tent
Every one. that cometh into the tent
and all that is In the tent shall be un
clean seven days.' Such is one of the
few Jewish quarantine regulations.
' "The rabbis suspected the existence
of microbes which they termed Maelkan.
Water, when kept in an open vessel for
any length of time, had to be skimmed,
because it might have attracted Maslkan.
"Only recently reports have been pub
lished tending to show the liability of
infection from the handling of books,
a fact which must have been known
to Talmudlc teachers. We read, 'AH
holy- writings render the hands un
clean.' Ancient writings were on oily
parchment which was favorable io the
propagation of microbes, holy oooks be
ing handled much more frequently than
profane ones, the danger of, contagion
was greater. '
"Disinfectants are provided In the
Mosaic statutes.' The ashes of a red
heifer, mixed with running - water,
formed a cleansing medium, with which
all unclean persons were to be sprinkled.
Infected . clothes were Isolated ' tor

either washed or burned. 'Thy garments
should at all times be white,'. Is a Bib
lical Injunction that is solely sanitary.
"According to Malmonldes, no man of
culture was permitted to dwell in a
city that did not comply with the follow
ing regulations: A physician, a surgeon,
a bath, a public toilet,' water, springs or
rivers, a' synagogue,, a tutor of boys, a
scribe, a Judicial authority and a scribe.
It is worthy of none that while the
synagogue is given only sixth place,
that the physician is given first The
Interpreters of the law, even Un ancient
times, know that forbidden things were
unhealthfuL and Malmonldes says so.
The fat of the interior of the animal
body was forbidden. It is near, the
lymphatic gland and harbors terms of
disease,''-;;,' . .-v.
Moses always put the moral law in
the foreground, but it was tempered by
physical law. Moses took cognisance
of the Influence of the stomach on the
head and the head on the stomach. In
other words, Moses knew, as modern
physicians are coming to admit, that
hygiene is morality and morality is
hygiene. .
Solomon wrote a hygienic work.
Sepher '- Rephuoth. Even kings were
required to study medicine, foa in Isaiah
we read: 'I am no physician: do not
choose me as the leader of the people.'
Talmud physicians dissected hftman
bodies and experimented with' animal
life. Their medical academy of Mont
pel ler is well known.
"All of this, and many other things
not touched on, seem to show conclu
sively that-the Jewish physicians cultt-
vatea hygiene and medicine in accord

CHIEF HUNT FREES
SEVEN PRISONERS
The city of Portland was saved the
price of seven breakfasts this morning
by 'the findings of Chief Hunt's kangaroo
oourt But before the seven weary ones
were allowed to go their way rejoicing,
it was made certain that they tallied
with the names on the list sent the
Jailer by the Big Chief. Wilson and
Kenney, two suspected highwaymen,
were released last Saturday by answer
ing to the names of sleepy drunken
men whom Chief Hunt, In his mercy,
had amlled upon, have not been recap
tured. There was quite a number of drunken
men arrested last night, and this morn
ing, when Chief Hunt arrived at, the
station, he gazed at the record a few
minutes, then by telepathlo suggestion
selected seven persons whom he thought
might go hence without having the
pleasure of eating one of the city's table
d'hote J -cent breakfasts. Two officers
were sent to call out the names of the
men who were to be released before hav
ing been brought before the municipal
Judge.
The officers read the name of the
first man to be set free. When the

cell doors and answered to the name that
naa jusi oeen caned, he was asked his
flrst name or names. If the answer
given aid not tally with that . on the
list named that man waa kept But
the seven set loose this, morning knew
their names welL
Among the number were John and
Abe Hunt loggers from a lumber camp
down the river, who came to the city
in order that they might see the a-litter
and glare of Portland life. The logger
uruiuera were arrestea at an early hour
this morning, but objected to going to
jail. ''Oh. that place smells too awful

"With burning face Attorney C. C
Palmer rose and walked from the state
circuit court yesterday afternoon, after
receiving a rebuke from the bench such
as Is seldom administered without Dun
ishment for - contempt being inflicted.
Having Insulted the court previously, it
is asserted, by the language used In a
brief in a former case In which he fig
ured, ne naa .tne temerity to make a
sneering remark In reference to it The
rebuke following was so severe that he
hastened from the room, leaving Attor
ney W. 8. Muftord to bear the sole
weight of their Joint client's troubles.
Palmer appeared in court with Attor
ney Hufford as counsel for J. F. Watts
in his suit against C. A. Whale to re
cover possession of a piano. About four
or five months ago Palmer was plaintiff
in a suit against McMasters A BlrrelL
He lost the case, but in a brief used such
language toward the court that - three
members of the bench believed he should
have been punished severely for con
tempt There was also talk at the time
among lawyers of drawing the matter
to the attention of the Multnomah
County ; Bar association. Palmer was
saved, from punishment by the magnani
mity of the members of the court to
whom he had offered Insult -.-
After the evidence In Watts' suit to
recover the piano had been taken yes
terday Palmer rose and sarcastically re
marked that he "supposed he would
have the privilege of filing a brief."
"No, siryou can ille no brief in this
case." declared the court "and, further
more, you can file no brief in any case
that comes before me. You grievously

"But my client should not be punished

"Nor will your client be punished on

"I hate the aristocratic Christian," he
said, "the Christian who is too proud to
kneel at prayer meeting. I notice that
you have several of them here." and
the speaker glanced over the audience.
"I peeped through my hands during
