[Footnote 51: The Guliston (p. 29) relates the conversation
of Mahomet and a physician, (Epistol. Renaudot. in
Fabricius, Bibliot. Graec. tom. i. p. 814.) The prophet
himself was skilled in the art of medicine; and Gagnier (Vie
de Mahomet, tom. iii. p. 394 - 405) has given an extract of
the aphorisms which are extant under his name.]
