The genuine works of Hippocrates, Vol. 1 (of 2)

Note 809 — ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD.

Francis Adams translation

Although these directions of our author regarding the treatment of children be most important, I am not aware that any other of the ancient authorities has shown his sense of their value of them by repeating them. It is well known that in children there is but one table, and that it is very thin. Our author, as remarked above, does not entirely omit the operation in the case of children, but uses a small trepan.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
