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 disgrace, and that does not hurt those who are familiar with it. Such persons are like The figures wh...

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 more reprehensible as relating to an art which all men avail Themselves of on The most import...

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.

We must also consider The qualities of The waters, for as They differ from one another in taste and weig...

Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived in the fifth century BCE, is best known for his work in medical ethics. However, he also wrote a number of important medical texts, including The Book of Prognostics. This text contains Hippocrates' thoughts on prognosis, or the art of predicting the course of a disease. In it, he discusses the importance of understanding a patient's symptoms and making an accurate diagnosis before attempting to treat the illness. Read in English, unabridged.

Hippocrates is considered the father of modern medicine and his surgical techniques were ahead of his time. He was the first to advocate for using cleanliness and sterile tools during surgery in order to prevent infection. He also developed new methods for treating wounds and broken bones. His contributions to the field of surgery have had a lasting impact and continue to be used by surgeons today.
