DISEASE OF THE HEART IN THE WORKS OF HIPPOCRATES

Abstract

He who would make accurate forecasts as to those who will recover, and those who will die, and whether the disease will last a greater or less number of days, must understand all the symptoms thoroughly and be able to appreciate them, estimating their powers when they are compared with one another, as I have set forth. Hippocrates, Prognostic XXV (Jones, 1923-31)
