Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 8: February to August, 1833 Once in each month wel propose to remind the reader, by the above design, of the mode in which the great hippocrates acquired the art for which he became so distinguished. It was then, as now, the recorded experience of others, which formed the basis of medical improvement. To those conversant with the - mytho logy of the Greeks, it is well known that those heroes who had performed peculiar services for mankind had temples erected to them, the ceremonies of which were confided to a consecrated body of priests. Esculapuis, who was regarded as peou liarly the god of Medicine, had numerous temples, both in Greece and Asia Minor. Of these, the earliest celebrated was that of Epidaurus; but that of 008, the resi dence of Hippocrates, became afterwards the most famous.
