| I Kings 1:2 | His servants, therefore, said to him: Let us seek for our Lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom, and warm our lord the king. | Servants. Physicians. (Josephus, [Antiquities?] 7:14.) --- People of the faculty still adopt the same sentiments; and when fire and clothes will not procure heat, they advise the application of living creatures. (Bartholin IX.; Galen VII.; Vales. Philos. C. 19.) |
