The reader is given a concept of the life and times when
Hippocrates lived. The professions and trades during Hippocrates
time are described as well as the early education of youth in
ancient Greece. Medicines were not based on science but on driving
evil spirits from the body. Hippocrates' scientific approach to the
study and treatment of disease has deservedly earned for him the
title 'Father of Medicine." He was born on the island of Cos in 460
B.C., and his works remained for centuries the foundation of
medical and biographical knowledge. In addition, it was
Hippocrates' daring approach to the problems of sickness and
disease that drove the opening wedge into the wall of fear that
surrounded human ills. Hippocrates' scrupulous attention to
professional ethics is honored even to this day by the medical oath
that bears his name-'The Hippocratic Oath." 'Desperate diseases
need desperate remedies." 'One man's meat is another man's
poison"-these well known sayings by Hippocrates were a direct
attack on human suffering. Hippocrates also wrote books on
epidemics and stressed the importance of diet in combating them.
