This work is a sampling of the Hippocratic Corpus a collection of ancient Greek medical works. At the beginning and interspersed throughout there are discussions on the philosophy of being a physician. There is a large section about how to treat limb fractures and the section called The Nature of Man describes the physiological theories of the time. The book ends with a discussion of embryology and a brief anatomical description of the heart.
