It

It seems this article was scanned and OCRed from the 1911 encyclopedia and ended up with some garbage that the program did not understand that has been in there since the first article version, day one.. If you have access to the original 1911 encyclopedia please copy the quote from there back into the article. Grasshoppa (talk) 07:24, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is only a passing reference to a work of Hippocrates, not of much importance.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Hippocratic work that prefigured Sydenham's was "Airs, Waters, Places." NRPanikker (talk) 15:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
