On The Natural Faculties is a medical treatise written by the ancient Greek physician Galen. The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores different aspects of human physiology and anatomy. The first section discusses the nature of the human body and its various organs, such as the heart, liver, and brain. The second section focuses on the senses, including sight, hearing, taste, and touch, and how they function in the body. The final section explores the concept of disease and how it affects the body, including the causes and symptoms of various illnesses. Throughout the book, Galen emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural faculties of the body in order to maintain good health and prevent disease. The book was highly influential in the development of medical knowledge during the ancient and medieval periods, and continues to be studied by medical professionals and historians today....everything is in sympathy. According to Asclepiades, however, nothing is naturally in sympathy with anything else, all substance being divided and broken up into inharmonious elements and absurd molecules. Necessarily, then, besides making countless other statements in opposition to plain fact, he was ignorant of Nature's faculties, both that attracting what is appropriate, and that expelling what is foreign.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
