Medicine 

'Medicine is the remedying of the conflicting elements: sickness is the discord of the elements infused in the living body.' 

'You know that medicines when well used restore health to the sick : they will be well used when the doctor together with his understanding of their nature shall understand also what man is, what life is, and what constitution and health are. Know these well and you will know their opposites; and when this is the case you will know well how to devise a remedy.' c.a. 270 r. c
