Note 359 — ON ANCIENT MEDICINE.
Francis Adams translation
The invention of bread must have been very ancient, as is obvious from the circumstance of its being referred to a mythological name, that is to say, Demeter or Ceres. The ancients would appear to have paid great attention to the manufacture of bread. See Athenæus Deipnos, iii., 26; and Paulus Ægineta, B. I., 78, Syd. Soc. edition.
