This second volume in the series includes the first two treatises, Prognostic and Regimen in Acute Diseases, which serve as manuals on predicting the course and outcome of acute diseases and applying appropriate dietary measures.
The remaining works in this edition are:
Sacred Disease: In this rhetorically polished monograph, Hippocrates argues against the notion that sacred disease is a misnomer, emphasizing that medicine is a legitimate art.
The Art: Here, Hippocrates explores the importance of air in life and health, presenting a specific hypothesis that air plays significant roles in maintaining good health.
Breaths: This work is another rhetorically polished monograph, where Hippocrates discusses the role of air in the human body and its impact on health.
Law: In this sketch, Hippocrates presents a new model of medical education, emphasizing the importance of practical knowledge and experience in the field.
Decorum: This work summarizes a public address on the components of medical wisdom, highlighting the importance of ethical and moral principles in medicine.
Dentition: This collection includes pediatric aphorisms dealing mainly with the nursing of infants and the treatment of ulcerations of their tonsils, uvula, and throat.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Hippocrates replaces the original edition by W. H. S. Jones and offers a comprehensive and authoritative collection of his works. These volumes provide valuable insights into ancient medicine, health, and human anatomy, making them essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
