ABSTRACT

Now, inasmuch as the cold chyme, when it is evacuated, delivereth patients from pain, and indicateth the part that is

Fol. zozb. diseased, I so that henceforward we may also occupy ourselves carefully with the part that is not diseased, and inasmuch as sometimes the frequency of the pains [in] the two organs [sheweth] that they require the self-same remedies, so also during the later stages of the diseases these organs require remedies that are different. Therefore we think also that nothing is of use as concerning healing or injuring, since the first difference in their initial stages is difficult to distinguish, because at that time they do not require remedies which are different, neither external nor internal, for the medicines which give relief are alone sufficient.
