Note 21 — PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE.
Francis Adams translation
Aristotle, Polit., vii., 4. Notwithstanding the high compliment which Aristotle here pays to the professional reputation of Hippocrates, there can be no doubt that he does not always make proper acknowledgment for the many obligations which he lies under to the Coan sage. Galen states repeatedly that the greater part of Aristotle’s physiology is derived from Hippocrates.
