Galen synthesized the entirety of Greek medicine as a basis for his own doctrines and practice, which comprehensively embraced theory, practical knowledge, experiment, logic, and a deep understanding of human life and society. Method of Medicine, a systematic and comprehensive account of the principles of treating injury and disease and one of Galen's greatest and most influential works. Enlivening the detailed case studies are many theoretical and polemical discussions, acute social commentary, and personal reflections. The Loeb Method of medicine is in three volumes."--Jacket. 606 $aMedicine$xEarly works to 1800$vBibliography 615 0$aMedicine$xEarly works to 1800 676 $a016.6 702 $aJohnston$b Ian 702 $aHorsley$b G.
