On Airs, Waters and Places

by Hippocrates ...

Whoever wishes to investigate medicine properly, should proceed thus: in The first place to consider The seasons of The year, and what effects each of Them produces for They are not at all alike, but differ much from Themselves in regard to Their changes. Then The winds, The hot and The cold, especially such as are common to all countries, and Then such as are peculiar to each locality. We must ... Read more

On Injuries of the Head

by Hippocrates ...

Men’s heads are by no means all like to one another, nor are the sutures of the head of all men constructed in the same form. Thus, whoever has a prominence in the anterior part of the head (by prominence is meant the round protuberant part of the bone which projects beyond the rest of it), in him the sutures of the head take the form of the Greek letter tau, T; for the head has the shorter line ...

On Regimen in Acute Diseases

by Hippocrates ...

Ptisan, then, appears to me to be justly preferred before all the Other preparations from grain in these diseases, and I commend those who made this choice, for the mucilage of it is smooth, consistent, pleasant, lubricant, moderately diluent, quenches thirst if this be required, and has no astringency; gives no trouble nor swells up in the bowels, for in the boiling it swells up as much as it ...

On Hemorrhoids

by Hippocrates ...

The disease of the hemorrhoids is formed in this way: if bile or phlegm be determined to the veins in the rectum, it heats the blood in the veins; and these veins becoming heated attract blood from the nearest veins, and being gorged the inside of the gut swells outwardly, and the heads of the veins are raised up, and being at the same time bruised by the faeces passing out, and injured by the ...

On Ulcers

by Hippocrates ...

We must avoid wetting all sorts of ulcers except with wine, unless The ulcer be situated in a joint. For, The dry is nearer to The sound, and The wet to The unsound, since an ulcer is wet, but a sound part is dry. and it is better to leave The part without a bandage unless a unless a cataplasm be applied. NeiTher do certain ulcers admit of cataplasms, and this is The case with The recent raTher ... Read more

On Fistulae

by Hippocrates ...

Fistulae are produced by contusions and tubercles, and they are also occasioned by rowing, on horseback, when blood accumulates in the nates near the anus. For, having become putrid, it spreads to the soft parts (the breech being of a humid nature, and the flesh in which it spreads being soft), until the tubercle break and corrupt below at the anus. When this happens, a fistula is formed, having ... Read more

The Law

by Hippocrates ...

Medicine is of all The Arts The most noble; but, not withstanding, owing to The ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of Them, it is at present far behind all The Other arts. Their mistake appears to me to arise principally from this, that in The cities There is no punishment connected with The practice of medicine (and with it alone) except ... Read more

On Ancient Medicine

Whoever having undertaken to speak or write on Medicine, have first laid down for Themselves some hypoThesis to Their argument, such as hot, or cold, or moist, or dry, or whatever else They choose (thus reducing Their subject within a narrow compass, and supposing only one or two original causes of diseases or of death among mankind), are all clearly mistaken in much that They say; and this is The ...
