The medical treatises collected under Hippocrates' name are
essential sources of information about the practice of medicine in
antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body. In
this eighth volume of the ongoing Loeb edition of these invaluable
texts, Paul Potter presents ten treatises that offer an
illuminating overview of Hippocratic medicine. Three theoretical
works Places in Man, General Nature of Glands, and Fleshes expound
particular theories of anatomy and physiology and then elaborate on
how disease and healing occur in the systems depicted. Prorrhetic 1
and 2 and Physician deal with symptoms and prognosis and with other
aspects of the physician-patient relationship. And four practical
manuals Use of Liquids, Ulcers, Fistulas, and Haemorrhoids give
specific instruction for treatments. Thus from the writings in this
volume we gain insight into the Hippocratic physician's
understanding of the body, his approach to his patient, and his
methods for dealing with a variety of disorders. The other works
available in the Loeb Classical Library edition of Hippocrates are
the following. Volume I: Ancient Medicine. Airs, Waters, Places.
Epidemics 1 and 3. The Oath. Precepts. Nutriment. Volume II:
Prognostic. Regimen in Acute Diseases. The Sacred Disease. The Art.
Breaths. Law. Decorum. Physician (Ch. 1). Dentition. Volume III: On
Wounds in the Head. In the Surgery. On Fractures. On Joints.
