Note 595 — ON REGIMEN IN ACUTE DISEASES. (continued 2)

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.
