Death by suicide is described in the Holy Bible. The number of characters affected ranges from 3 to 11, depending on the inclusion of the Apocrypha, the definition of suicide adopted and the version of the death accepted when there is more than one account. The Bible treats suicide in a factual way and not as wrong or shameful.
References were brought from the Bible and Talmud which prove that distinctions--morphological and functional--were recognized between incisors, canines, and molars. Diseases of the gums and pains originating from the teeth were cited from the Talmud. Examples were brought which show a clear distinction between a physician and a technician and also forms of healing and tooth-restoration were described. It is interesting that throughout most of these examples the dental patient is invariably a woman. Little has changed in this respect up to the present day, and, the woman still remains the dentist's most frequent patient.

The present paper is an English translation of the chapter of Otology in Preuss's classic book Biblisch-Talmudische Medizin. Described in the Talmud are a variety of anatomical ear abnormalities such as double ear, pierced ears, small ears, cut off ears, and pendulous ears. A slave whose ear was wounded had to be freed. Compensation for injury to the ear and to hearing is clearly noted. Remedies for earache are mentioned. The legal status of a deaf-mute, and the relationship of deafness to muteness are also discussed in the Talmud.
