Hence Wine Disposes Greatly To Gladness, And The Person Is Subject To Quite Trivial Exciting Agents. The Breath Now Takes Up The Impression Of Agents Belonging To The Present Time More Easily Than It Does Those Which Relate To The Future; It Responds To Agents Conducive To Delight Rather Than Those Conducive To A Sense Of Beauty.

Medicine Is The Science By Which We Learn The Various States Of The Human Body In Health And When Not In Health, And The Means By Which Health Is Likely To Be Lost And, When Lost, Is Likely To Be Restored Back To Health. In Other Words, It Is The Art Whereby Health Is Conserved And The Art Whereby It Is Restored After Being Lost. While Some Divide Medicine Into A Theoretical And A Practical [applied] Science, Others May Assume That It Is Only Theoretical Because They See It As A Pure Science. But, In Truth, Every Science Has Both A Theoretical And A Practical Side.
