Publisher's Synopsis
Hippocrates On Airs, Waters, and Places is a book written by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, and translated into English in 1881. The book is a collection of essays that focus on the relationship between a person's environment and their health. Hippocrates believed that the quality of the air, water, and soil in a particular location could have a significant impact on the health of the people living there. He also believed that different climates and landscapes could affect a person's health in different ways. In the book, Hippocrates discusses various topics related to environmental health, including the effects of different types of water on the body, the importance of proper ventilation in homes and buildings, and the impact of different climates on health. He also provides advice on how to prevent and treat various illnesses that were common in his time, such as malaria and tuberculosis. Hippocrates On Airs, Waters, and Places is considered one of the most important works in the history of medicine, and it has influenced medical thought and practice for centuries. The book is still relevant today, as many of the environmental factors that Hippocrates wrote about are still important considerations for public health.The Received Greek Text Of Littre, With Latin, French, And English Translations By Eminent Scholars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
