[591] Galen finds many things in this section also carelessly
and confusedly written, and therefore unworthy of Hippocrates.
For example, the list of cases in which purging is inapplicable,
Galen holds to be incomplete; and even in some of the cases
specified by Hippocrates he demurs to admit his views to be
correct; for example, in diseases of the spleen he contends that
melanogogues are strongly indicated. Many more of the rules he
considers to be vaguely and inaccurately stated. Altogether, then,
he holds that it is a loss of time to devote much attention to
writings of such a stamp; but, he shrewdly remarks, there is no
persuading many people to study only such writings as are clear,
and to leave such as are not so to the writers themselves; for it is
just that, as they have paid no regard that we should understand
what they have written, we should not be very anxious to find out
and learn what they say.
[592] Galen correctly remarks that this rule is applicable in
certain cases, but not in all.
[593] As Galen remarks in his Commentary, something
appears to be wanting here in order to indicate the disease to
which these directions apply. Perhaps, as he suggests afterwards,
they are meant to apply to general pains.
[594] The Cantharis of the ancients was indisputably the
Mylabris cichorii, or M. Fusselini. It continued to be used in
ancient times as a diuretic, (see Paulus Ægineta, Vol. III., p.
153;) and is well known in the East at the present day.
[595] All the remaining part of this work evidently consists of
fragments put together, without any method or arrangement.
Though not devoid of interest, they decidedly have no connection
with the treatise On Regimen in Acute Diseases. Indeed an
impartial examination of the whole Appendix must satisfy any one
that there are but too good grounds for holding with Galen, that
the whole work is a disorderly compilation, which, although it may
have been made up of notes written or dictated by Hippocrates,
had certainly not been published by him.
[596] It most probably is the Reseda mediterranea. See
Paulus Ægineta, Vol. III., p. 331.
[597] This description has always been regarded as very
obscure. According to Galen it is the operation which was
afterwards named anabrochismus. See Paulus Ægineta, Vol.
III., pp. 262, 269. M. Littré gives the following interesting
observations on this passage by M. Malgaigne: “Quoiqu’il semble
que l’auteur emploie deux fils, cependant il n’est fait mention que
d’une aiguille. Il paraît bien indiqué que l’aiguille traverse deux
plis transverseaux en marchant de haut en bas. Voici comment je
traduirais le passage en question: pour le trichiasis, avec une
aiguille armée d’un fil, traversé de haut en bas le point le plus
élevé (ou la base); de la paupière supérieure, après lui avoir fait
former un pli, et repasser l’aiguille de la même manière un peu
plus bas (ou près du bord libre); rapprochez les extrémités du fil,
et fixez-les par un nœud: puis laissez-les tomber d’eux-mêmes.
Si cela réussit, c’est bien: si non, it faudra recommencer.” (Op.
Hippocrat., tom. iii., p. xliv). In my Commentary on Paulus
Ægineta, (Vol. II., p. 163.) I have in so far fallen into the mistake
of supposing this description to apply to the lower eyelid, and M.
Ermerins would appear to have done the same. See Littré, l. c.
The operation by the ligature on hemorrhoids will be found more
circumstantially described in the treatise on that subject, of which
a translation is given in this volume.
[598] For the weights and measures mentioned here, and in
other parts of our author’s works, see the Comment. on the last
section of Paulus Ægineta, Syd. Soc. edit.

[600] The μηκώνιον was applied to three totally distinct
substances; 1st, To a sort of opium, that is to say, the expressed
juice of the poppy (see Paulus Ægineta, Vol. III., p. 280); 2d, to
the Euphorbia peplus, L., (see Appendix to Dunbar’s Greek
Lexicon, under the name): and, 3d, to the excrement of new-born
children. It is singular that the learned Foës, in his Œconomia
Hippocratica, should apply it in this place to the last of these; for if
Hippocrates had used such a substance medicinally, we may be
well assured that it would not have been overlooked by
Dioscorides and Galen. There is every reason, however, to
suppose that it is the same as the πέπλος of Dioscorides and
Galen, that is to say, the Euphorbia peplus, which was
recommended as a drastic purgative by all the ancient authorities
on the Materia Medica, and consequently would be a medicine
very applicable either in coma or dropsy.
[601] All the commentators admit that the last section is
obscure. It would appear to me that Galen understands the
expression τὸ ἀπὸ τῶν κοπρἰων as applying ἑδρικοῖς, that is to
say, to affections of the anus. I have followed Littré in giving the
passage a very different interpretation, but I am by no means sure
that Galen may not be right.

[606] One cannot help being struck with the resemblance
between this description and a passage in Aretæus’s chapter on
Causus: Ψυχῆς κατάστασις, ἄισθησις σύμπασα καθαρὴ, διάνοια
λεπτὴ, γνώμη μαντικὴ, κ. τ. λ. In the yellow fever of the West
Indies, which would certainly appear to me to be a variety of the
causus, the mind is said to be wonderfully entire to the last. Dr.
Fergusson gives a very striking instance of this in describing the
case of Sir James Leith, the British Governor of Guadaloupe.

[617] Thasus is an island in the Ægean sea, off the coast of
Thrace, which bears the modern name of Thaso or Tasso. It was
in a flourishing condition in the time of Hippocrates, and a
tributary to Athens, but revolted from that power after its disasters
in Sicily during the Peloponnesian war. See Herodot., vi., 47;
Thucydid., i., 101; viii., 66. Galen states that it is cold, with a
northerly exposure.
[618] According to Galen, in his Commentary on this passage,
the setting of the Pleiades takes place fifty days after the
autumnal equinox. See the Argument to the treatise On Airs, etc.
[619] We have already stated that the ardent fevers or causi,
of which repeated mention is made in the Hippocratic treatises,
were fevers of the remittent type, in short that they were the same
as the bilious remittent fevers of Pringle and Monro.
[620] I need scarcely say that the disease here described is
cynanche parotidæa or parotitis. It is a remarkable proof of our
author’s talent for observation, that he has pointed out the
tendency of the disease to be complicated with swelling and
inflammation of the testicles. Altogether the description of the
disease here given is quite applicable to the mumps of modern
times. As stated by him, the swelling of the testicles is generally
painful. See the Commentary of Galen.
[621] On reference to Galen’s Commentary it will be seen that
anciently the reading of this passage was reckoned equivocal.
According to one of the readings, the meaning is that those who
were sick did not require to come to the Iatrium for advice. See
also Littré’s annotations on this passage.
[622] Galen thinks our author expresses himself confusedly in
this place, but Littré justly defends him from this charge.
According to Littré, Hippocrates means that those who had been
long affected with consumption (the term used, ὑποφθειρομένων,
rather signifies had obscure symptoms of consumption), then
betook themselves to bed; but those who were in a doubtful state,
then first manifested signs of confirmed phthisis; and, finally, that
there were some who then for the first time felt the attack of
phthisis, and that these were persons who were predisposed to it.
According to Galen, the phthisical constitution is marked by a
narrow and shallow chest, with the scapulæ protuberant behind
like wings; and hence he says chests of this construction have
been named alar. He further states that there are two forms of
consumption, the one originating in a defluxion from the head,
and the other being connected with the rupture of a vessel in the
lungs. I may be allowed to mention in this place, in confirmation of
our author’s accuracy of observation with regard to the
connection of hemoptysis with phthisis, that Louis found
hemoptysis to a greater or less extent in two thirds of his cases.
(Researches on Phthisis, p. 166, Sydenham Society edition.) The
same author relates several cases in which death occurred
suddenly and unexpectedly, as Hippocrates states to have
happened to some of his patients. (Ibid.)
[623] I am of opinion that the species of phthisis noticed in the
latter part of this section was the acute form of phthisis described
by Louis (p. 351). Our author, it will be remarked, states that his
patients were mostly delirious when near death. Louis, in like
manner, mentions delirium in, I believe, every one of the cases of
acute phthisis which he relates. Galen justly remarks, that, in the
ordinary forms of phthisis, delirium is not a common symptom. I
would also call attention to our author’s observation regarding the
inflamed state of the fauces, which is also amply confirmed by the
observation of Louis in this form of phthisis.
[624] The nature of the continual fevers of the ancients is fully
explained in the Commentary on the twenty-seventh section of
the Second Book of Paulus Ægineta. Galen, in his Commentary
on this passage, marks their nature very distinctly in few words.
He says that such fevers as have an exacerbation of fever ending
in complete apyrexia are called intermittents, whereas such as do
not end in a complete remission of the fever are called continual.
See further De Diff. Febr., ii., 2. In a word, the continual fevers
were decidedly of the remittent type. See further Donald Monro’s
work on Army Diseases, in the beginning of the chapter on the
Bilious Remittent Fever.
[625] The introduction of phthisis in this place has created
some difficulty in the interpretation, as may be seen on reference
to Galen and Littré. Galen gives a very interesting account of the
way in which interpolations often took place. (Opera, tom. v., p.
356.)
[626] The text of this last sentence is in an unsettled state.
The following would be a translation of it as it stands in the Basle
edition of Galen’s Works: “Of all the cases described under this
constitution, those alone which were of a phthisical character
proved fatal. But they (the phthisical affections?) did not
supervene upon the other fevers.” Provided this be the true
meaning of the passage, it would merit great attention, as
seeming to contain a declaration that intermittent fevers
superinduced an immunity to phthisis. I need not say that this
supposed fact has been exciting a great deal of interest lately in
the profession, more especially in France.
[627] It is to be borne in mind that the autumn began with the
rising of Arcturus, and ended with the setting of the Pleiades. The
setting of the Pleiades then indicated the commencement of
winter. The classical reader will find the different seasons,
strikingly defined by the rising and setting of the stars, in Virgil’s
Georgics. See in particular Georg. i., 221.
[628] Galen thus explains the origin of the ophthalmies. He
says, the constitution of the air being not only cold and humid, but
attended also with hurricanes. The eyes were thus injured, and
consequently were the first part of the body to show symptoms of
disease. The dysenteric and other alvine complaints which
followed, he ascribes to the constriction of the skin induced by the
cold, and to the humoursæ of the system aggravated and
increased by the humid state of the season. These humours
being thus shut up by the occlusion of the pores of the skin, part
of them were determined to the intestines, occasioning diarrhœa,
tenesmus, dysentery, etc.; some to the bladder, inducing
strangury; and some to the mouth of the stomach, occasioning
vomiting.
[629] Galen states in his Commentary that the phrenitis is
connected with inflammation of the parts about the brain. We
have mentioned before that the phrenitis of the ancients was a
febrile affection, and not idiopathic inflammation of the brain, as is
generally supposed.
[630] According to Galen, the causi or ardent fevers are
occasioned by yellow bile collected about the vessels of the liver
and stomach, and the tertians by the same diffused over the
whole body.
[631] Galen states in his Commentary that children are
peculiarly subject to convulsions owing to the weakness of their
nervous system. He adds, that in their case convulsions are not
attended with so much danger as in other cases. See the
Hippocratic treatise On Dentition.
[632] The fever here described is evidently the semitertian.
See Paulus Ægineta, Book II., 34. “The true semitertian,” says
M. Bartels, as quoted by M. Littré, “is a real complication of an
intermittent fever with another fever of a continual type. It does
not show itself but rarely in our countries; but it is more frequent in
the hotter countries of Europe, although the false semitertian has
oftener than once been confounded with the true. In the true, the
intermittent fever is tertian; the non-intermittent is quotidian.” See
also Galen, Opera, tom. v., p. 362; ed. Basil.
[633] The text here is in an unsatisfactory state, and, as usual
in such cases, no ingenuity nor pains can do much to mend it.
See Foës and Littré. I have translated the disputed words “not
resolved,” which seems to me to agree best with the sense. Every
practical physician knows that swellings of the glands, which
continue long and do not suppurate, are unfavorable in fevers.
[634] The modern physician will not fail to be struck with this
observation as to the termination of certain cases of fever in
determination to the kidneys. Galen remarks in his Commentary
on this passage, that as the general system is often purged by the
bowels, so is it also sometimes by the kidneys and bladder. This,
he adds, is a protracted and painful mode of resolution in fevers.
The reader will remark the characters of the urine as stated below
by our author. One cannot help being struck with his statement,
that all these cases recovered. I am not aware of any modern
observations bearing on this point.
[635] There is considerable difficulty here in determining the
reading. See Littré, whom I have followed.
[636] I need scarcely remark that this passage is of classical
celebrity. Galen, in his Commentary, remarks that the first time he
read it he thought it unworthy of Hippocrates to lay it down as a
rule of practice, that “the physician should do good to his patient,
or at least no harm;” but that, after having seen a good deal of the
practice of other physicians, and observed how often they were
justly exposed to censure for having bled, or applied the bath, or
given medicines, or wine unseasonably, he came to recognize the
propriety and importance of the rule laid down by Hippocrates.
The practice of certain physicians, Galen remarks, is like playing
at the dice, when what turns up may occasion the greatest
mischief to their patients. The last clause of this passage is very
forcibly put. Galen, however, informs us that in some of the MSS.
instead of “art” he found “nature;” that is to say, that the physician
is “the minister (or servant) of nature.” Either of the readings, he
remarks, will agree very well with the meaning of the passage.
[637] The reader will find it interesting to refer here to the
Prognostics. See also the Commentary of Galen. Let me here
impress upon the reader the necessity of making frequent
comparisons of the Prognostics with this work, if he would wish
rightly to apprehend the bearing and meaning of the latter. That
the Epidemics are entirely founded upon the principles of
prognosis there can be no doubt.
[638] It is to be recollected that the rising of Arcturus marked
the beginning of autumn, and the setting of the Pleiades the end
of it. See above.
[639] The season of the Dog-star was immediately after the
summer solstice, namely, when the sun enters the constellation
Leo. The classical reader will readily bring to his recollection the
lines of Horace, which are descriptive of this season:
