Pathology and Therapeutics of hippocratic collection
We have given a glance of the views which the Asclepiadae had acquired on the structure and functions of different parts of the human body, as well as of means employed to maintain their integrity of function. We now proceed to say something on the ideas they had touching the disorders of

Schools of the asclepiadae
We have already said, that nearly everywhere the temples of Esculapius were dispensaries, in which advice was given and remedies administered, and that the young sacerdotal aspirants were there trained in the practice of Medicine. The Asclepiadae had preserved, until that epoch, the tradition of the Egypto-Indian school, which only allowed

Hygiene of hippocratic collection
We remarked, in speaking of Medicine among the Hebrews, with what care Moses had regulated everything that concerned health. The Asclepiadae, who, like him, owed their first scientific instructions to the Egyptian priests, gave special attention,

Anatomy and Physiology of hippocratic collection
Neither Hippocrates nor his descendants ever dissected the human body ; the religious respect that was had for the dead in all Greece, prevented it. We, therefore, find in their writings some generalities, merely, on the form, volume, and respective positions of the principal viscera. Osteology, only, is treated there with sufficient exactness, and this fact is explained by a tradition, which says that the Asclepiadae, of Cos, kept in their school a human skeleton, for the instruction of their pupils. They had been able moreover to

The hippocratic collection
M. Littre establishes, by convincing proofs, that the collection which we now possess, was not published as a whole until the foundation of the great libraries of Alexandria and Pergamos. Until then, there had been only

Semiotics of hippocratic collection
semiotics occupies a very considerable place in the medical works of the Asclepiadae. Two of the most complete and best achieved treatises of the collection - that on Prognostics, and the second book on Predictions, or Prorrhetics - are devoted to this branch of Pathology. Beside, the first book on Predictions and Coan Prenotions, a species of treatises believed to belong anterior to Hippocrates, as well as the book on Dreams, which is appended to the treatise on Regimen, relate entirely to the same subject. Now, all these portions united, form more than

The femoral artery (femoralis s. cruralis ; French: artère fémorale ), is that portion of the artery of the lower limb which lies along the upper two-thirds of the thigh, — its limits being marked, above, by Poupart's ligament, and below, by the opening in the great adductor muscle, after passing through which the artery assumes the name popliteal.

Internal Nosography of hippocratic collection
Nosography is the eye of therapeutics. In proportion as the first is lucid, methodical, and complete, the second is sure and rational. The possession of the most efficacious curative agents is of no avail to us if we can not distinguish the cases in which their use is advantageous, from those in which they would be injurious. In fact the more the means that the therapist dispensers have of power and energy, the more

Therapeutics of hippocratic collection
The physicians of the two preceding periods have not emitted any general law in Therapeutics ; they regulated their practice instinctively upon the following plan : when a remedy has cured any disease, it should cure all other identical diseases. This axiom, incontestably true in itself, is but a fragment of one much more general, which embraces the whole philosophy of causes, and may be
