To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The majority of his remedies were obtained from the vegetable kingdom ; with the exception of alum and some preparations of copper and lead, he em- ployed only plants, for pharmacy, or the art of pre- paring compound medicines, was very rude in his time. In order to diminish, for example, the acri- dity of the juice of euphorbium, it was poured, drop by drop, on dried figs, and in this manner we are told a very useful remedy for dropsy was manufac- tured. It would be idle to look in the writing...s of Hippocrates for the least traces of chemistry, the origin of that science, properly so called, not having taken place for several years after this period.
The Coan sage enriched surgery with a consider- able number of new observations and with several operations. He is said to have been the first inven- tor of the art of applying bandages. In all severe wounds he ordered rest, prescribed a strict regimen, and recommended the limb to be placed in the easiest position. He permitted the blood to flow copiously in extensive wounds when they were seated on the limbs or penetrated the cavities of the body.
