It covers a wide range of topics including the importance of rest, the use of fasting, the benefits of exercise, and the role of diet in promoting healing. The text also includes specific recommendations for the treatment of various acute illnesses such as fever, coughs, and digestive disorders. On Regimen In Acute Diseases is considered a seminal work in the field of medicine and has been studied and referenced by physicians and scholars for centuries.The greater part of my discourse has related to changes, this way or that. For all purposes it is profitable to know these things, and more especially respecting the subject under consideration, - that in acute diseases, in which a change is made to ptisans from a state of inanition, it should be made as I direct; and then that ptisans should not be used until the disease be concocted, or some other symptom, whether of evacuation or of irritation, appear in the intestines, or in the hypochondria, such as will be described. Obstinate insomnolency impairs the digestion of the food and drink, and in other respects changes and relaxes the body, and occasions a heated state, and heaviness of the head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
