I NEED A DOCTOR

Imhotep of Ancient Egypt,was the real Father of Medicine. He lived from 2300 B.C. Greece and Rome had their knowledge of medicine from him. In Rome he was worshipped as the Prince of Peace in the form of a black man. His Ethiopian portraits show him a Negro. Imhotep was also Prime Minister to King Zoser as well as the foremost architect of his time. The saying,"Eat,drink,and be merry for tomorrow was die," has been traced to him. Hippocrates, the so-called "Father of Medicine" lived 2,000 years after Imhotep. Aben Ali,an African Negro,was private physician to Charles Vll, King of France (1403-1465). When the king fell dangerously ill at Toulouse, Aben Ali was sent for and he cured him. Thereafter the king made him a member of his suite. Dr. C. Tavares,an African Negro, was the private physician to King Carlos l of Portugal until the latter's death in 1908. Dr. Daniel Williams, Chicago surgeon who dies in 1931,was the first to perform a successful operation on the human heart.

BLACK POPES

For African birth of Popes,see Liber Pontificalis (Book of the Popes), p. 17,for Pope Victor; for Melchiadesa, sometimes called Miltiades, p, 40; for Gelasius, p. 110 ( L.R. Loomis, translator. New York, 1916.) These Popes came from a region where the population was originally Negro, and is still Negroid. The whitest people in North Africa today are the Kabyles and of these Weisgerber says,"All the Kabyles of the Riff, of the Grand Kabylie, of the Aures, of the Enfida, belonging to the white Mediterranean race are more or less mixed with....Negroes." (Les Blancs d Afrique, p. 83, Paris,1910.) No color distinction has ever existed in North Africa hence the Negro strain, to a great degree,runs through the entire native population. There are no authentic portraits of the earlier Popes. Such drawings of them as exist are all modelled to resemble that of St. Peter's which like that of Christ, is apocryphal. There are real portraits of the Roman Emperors, however, and in that of Septimus Sevarus, who was an African, one can perceive Negroid traits.
