And this is directly perceptible to us: that we treat the sick person with health-promoting medicine; we nourish the emaciated and weak with non-emaciating measures; we deplete the obese and fatty; we treat one overcome by heat with cold, and one overcome by cold with heat; we replenish deficient tissues; we reduce excessive ones; treating diseases by counteracting their cause, we properly establish them in their natural state. When we act in this way, this collection of medicine becomes exceedingly pleasing to them.
