\nAlthough greatly over-shadowed by the \"Flowering Top's\" [the actual Medical Cannabis] of the Hemp plant. \u00a0 One should not overlook the fact that before 1937 (and well after that) Hemp seeds, of and by themselves, were used by physicians for a number of ailments. \u00a0 In fact, so many ailments, that it would be all but impossible to list them all.
\nHere are some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n
\nEXAMPLE: - Today, the vast majority of Egyptologists agree that the \"The Eber's Papyrus,\"<\/a> (the earliest complete medical textbook known to exist), makes several references to hemp seed oil and its uses to treat inflammation.<\/p>\n
\nBefore 1937 (and even well after that date), it was common for pharmaceutical & druggist trade magazines to list the whole-sale prices of hemp seeds, right along with other herbs and medicines. \u00a0 And obviously they were being listed in these trade magazines for their medical NOT industrial value.<\/span><\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/antiquecannabisbook.com\/chap19\/APharmEra1901pp19.jpg\")
