I'll comment from the point of view of their possible patoqenia and prehistoric epidemiology, a curious process of bone, often in cemeteries gentilicios the Peruvian coast and elsewhere in America, from what I know, in tropical and subtropical. This known by a name that is not his illness, because it is Osteoporosis in pathologic sense, not necessarily symmetric, has been studied before by doctors, anthropologists and archaeologists, which explains the ambiguity in their names and in some interpretations of it have been made.

We have already defined at another time (79) what we mean by Cultural Osteology. In short, it is the study of disorders of the bones either intentional causes (deformations, trepanation, cauterization, etc..) environmental (stressantes or nutritional changes and pathological factors) disease. tumors, infections, etc., considered as a feature, combining them with the time, geographic region and tracking potential partnerships with other characters.

Pottery is the royal road of archaeologists to explore the pre-history. The exceptional conditions of this material in Peru excuse to be shelved others, also in Peru offer endless possibilities. The name archaeologists have emphasized issues of Osteology, at least in what concerns the trepanation and deformations, seems sufficient guarantee of merit. Uhle, Tello and Kroeber, used data from the Osteology and are dedicated to discussing the need to take into account the skulls in the diagnosis of cultures paragraphs.

On the western slopes of the central and northern, and in some valleys, in a band saw between 800 and 300 meters high is located two diseases transmitted by Phlebotomus, Peruvian Wart and Uta. Malaria in the lower valleys up to 1,800 meters on the western slopes and more height in the Andean valleys. Epidemic typhus in the upper parts of the lower mountains to heights not yet certain, without reaching the coastal desert.

Could not pass the performance with the Society of Neuro-Psychiatry, pays tribute to Cajal, without the Department of Pathology to performance, leave voice their admiration for the Wise, who helped forge the art, and for many years , robbing time high research interests, taught as professor of the Faculty of Medicine of Madrid

The habit of eating dirt and limestone ash, which is conserved among people from various parts of Peru, despite centuries of persecution, was apparently a common and natural habit for the Incas. The wide dissemination of this custom among aboriginal Indians were varied as connections of synonyms, and the actual extent of consumption and trade of edible clays, which are sold in the markets of some people, plain or patterned in a silly objects or animals

A medical study made at Yurimaguas, a village located on the Lower Huallaga, in the Peruvian Forest Country. The author found intestinal parasitism to be the disease most frequently met with, with ankylostomiasis predominating. He al so came across cases of Yaws, juxta-articular tumours, "Lajs", Leihsmaniasis ( Espundia), Phagedenic tropical uIcers, Pinta, Tropical Vitiligo, Infantile Paralysis, Malaria fever (with P. Malarie predorninating) and Pterygion. No cases of American Trypanosomiasis, Filariasis, Beri-beri, Yellow fever, or even Leprosy were discovered. Compared with other places in the Peruvian Forest Country, Yurimaguas is a healthy place. Apart from intestinal parasitism, the percentage of other diseases, is relatively low.

Suggestibility by the widespread belief among the inhabitants of some warty and utosas areas involving a reptile in the cycle of these diseases, I have tried repeatedly to examine the blood of animals in such order, both in endemic areas and in other places.

The Peruvian wart is a disease which mainly involves the reticulo-endothelial system. This comprommiso, which begins at the end of the hematic phase or fever of Carrion, the attachment of the virus in tissue reaches maximun extension during the period preceding the eruption persisted during the beginning of this, to be later reduced verrucous buttons in the territories where they are formed.

It has been found in precolombian cementeries, adult's bones with lesions identical to the ones produced nowadays by syphilis, The cases presented in this paper add to the other peruvian ones reported by Tella, Moodie, and Tello and Williams. Case l. Skull 657 (Fig. 2) with characteristic lesions, contributes to fade away the suspicions about possible intrusion of post-colombian remains into pre-colombian cementeries. It was found in a closed "pre-inca" tomb and shows the intentional deformation used by its culture. Chroniclers, contemporary to the spanish invasion of America, describe clearly and precisely the spreading on the old world, of a disease which symptoms and mode of transmission vary identical to the ones of syphilis, begining the return of Colombus expedicionaries. That new disease, unknow in Europe, which steps in spreanding from one country to the other charaterize well kn...
