Note 89 — CHAP. I.
Reading edition
I fancied that my reasoning on this subject was in a great measure new; but I lately met with the following passages in Celsus and Hippocrates, which seem to be illustrative of the same idea:—Quibus causa doloris, neque sensus ejus est, his mens laborat. Celsus, Lib. ii. cap. vii. which is nearly a translation of the following aphorism of Hippocrates:—[Greek hOkosoi poneontes ti tou sômatos, ta polla tôn ponôn ouk a sthanontai, touteoisin hê gnômê noseei]. Hippoc. Aphor. Lib. ii. Aphor. 6.
The same principle is ingeniously explained by Mr. Hunter in his Lectures.
