Medicine - General

" 'On the other hand,' he said, 'you will learn that in lighting, shelter, agricultural techniques, and medicine, for example, the Mortals, or Men Below the Mountains, are relatively advanced.' He looked at me - amused, I think. 'You wonder,' he said, 'why the numerous, rather obvious deficits in our technology have not been repaired - in spite of the Priest-Kings. It crosses your mind that there must exist minds on this world capable of designing such things as, say, rifles and armoured vehicles.' 'Surely such things must be produced,' I urged. 'And you are right,' he said grimly. 'From time to time they are, but their owners are then destroyed, bursting into flame.' " Book 1, Tarnsman of Gor, page 31 "It seemed the routine of the journey would never end, and I grew enamoured of the long line of wagons, each filled with its various goods, those mysterious metals and gems, rolls of cloth, foodstuffs, wines and Paga, weapons and harness, cosmetics and perfume, medicines and slaves. Mintar's caravan, like most, was harnessed long before dawn and travelled until the heat of the day. Camp would be made early in the afternoon." Book 1, Tarnsman of Gor, page 124 "Many are the objects for sale at the fair. I passed among wines and textiles and raw wool, silks, and brocades, copperware and glazed pottery, carpets and tapestries, lumber, furs, hides, salt, arms and arrows, saddles and harness, rings and bracelets and necklaces, belts and sandals, lamps and oils, medicines and meats and grains, animals such as the fierce tarns, Gor's winged mounts, and tharlarions, her domesticated lizards, and long chains of miserable slaves, both male and female." Book 3, Priest-Kings of Gor, page 12 ~才 " 'That is the reason then for your limiations of their weaponary and technology?' 'Of course,' said Misk, 'but we have allowed them to develop in many areas - in medicine, for example, where something approximating the Stabilisation Serums has been independently developed.' 'What is that?' I asked. 'You have surely not failed to notice,' said Misk, 'that though you came to the Counter-Earth more than seven years ago you have undergone no significant physical alteration in that time.' 'I have noticed,' I said, 'and I wondered on this.' 'Of course,' said Misk, 'their serums are not as effective as ours and sometimes do not function, and sometimes the effect wears off after only a few hundred years.' " Book 3, Priest-Kings of Gor, page 124 ~才 "From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and papers, root vegetables, dried fish, powdered medicines, ointments, perfume and women..." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 57 ~才 " 'Sometimes, said Flaminius, shock cannot be so easliy prevented. Indeed sometimes the lash itself drives the girl into shock. Then sedations and drugs are called for.' " Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 128 ~才 "I held the object before her. she regarded it with dismay. 'I have already chewed sip root within the moon,' she said. 'Open your mouth,' I said. 'Yes, Master,' she said. I then thrust the object into her mouth. 'Chew it well," I said, "and swallow it, bit by bit.' She grimaced, at the barest taste of the object. 'Begin,' I told her. She began. 'Not so quickly,' I told her, 'More slowly. Very slowly. Very, very slowly. Savor it well.' she whimpered in obedience. She did not need the sit root, of course, for, as she had pointed out, she had had some within the moon, and indeed, the effect of sip root, in the raw state, in most women, is three or four moons. In the concentrated state, as in slave wine, developed by the caste of physicians, the effect is almost indefinite, usually requiring a releaser for its remission, usually administered, to a slave, in what is called the breeding wine, or the 'second wine'. When this is administered she usually knows that she has been selected for crossing with a handsome male slave." Book 18, Blood Brothers of Gor, page 319 "Some girls I have been told sometimes try to swallow small coins but this is foolish. The coin can be produced swiftly enough in such cases by emetics and laxatives." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 238
