but none are of outstanding merit. There is an English translation of no merit by Samuel Farr (London, 1780), and the books are included in Adams' first volume.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

1. The word ὀξύς2, "acute," "sharp," is applied to fever, and to such diseases (pleurisy, pneumonia, remittent malaria, etc., Regimen in Acute Diseases, v) as are accompanied by high fever. The Hippocratic doctrines of crisis, coction, etc., apply chiefly to acute diseases, but not to them only, as the common cold (Ancient Medicine, xviii) shows coction.

2. The preposition παρά, meaning "at the house of," seems to be used indifferently with acc., gen., or dat. There are probably differences, but I cannot detect them.
