to be understood by the inexperienced; fall upon the brain。



  And the disease called the Sacred arises from causes as the

others; namely; those things which enter and quit the body; such as

cold; the sun; and the winds; which are ever changing and are never at

rest。 And these things are divine; so that there is no necessity for

making a distinction; and holding this disease to be more divine

than the others; but all are divine; and all human。 And each has its

own peculiar nature and power; and none is of an ambiguous nature;

or irremediable。 And the most of them are curable by the same means as

those by which any other thing is food to one; and injurious to

another。 Thus; then; the physician should understand and distinguish

the season of each; so that at one time he may attend to the

nourishment and increase; and at another to abstraction and

diminution。 And in this disease as in all others; he must strive not

to feed the disease; but endeavor to wear it out by administering

whatever is most opposed to each disease; and not that which favors

and is allied to it。 For by that which is allied to it; it gains vigor

and increase; but it wears out and disappears under the use of that

which is opposed to it。 But whoever is acquainted with such a change

in men; and can render a man humid and dry; hot and cold by regimen;

could also cure this disease; if he recognizes the proper season for

administering his remedies; without minding purifications; spells; and

all other illiberal practices of a like kind。
