PART I SYNOPTICAL VIEW OF MEDICINE. MEDICINE, the subject-matter of one of the learned professions, includes, as it now stands, a wide range of scientific knowledge and practical skill. The history of its growth from small beginnings in Greece is traced in the second section of the present article ; it remains here to give a synoptical view of medicine, including its scientific or philosophical position, its subdivisions or ramifications as an art and discipline, and its relations to the body politic. Scientific Position of Medicine. The science of medicine is the theory of diseases and of remedies. While the notion of disease is necessarily or inevitably correlated with the notion of health, there is no necessary and invari able relation, but, on the other hand, a merely conventional association, between a disease and a remedy. That part of the science of medicine which corresponds to the theory of remedies is not therefore in a position scientifically inferior to the theory of diseases ; for each article of the materia medica apart from a few inert substances has a certain effect on the organism in health and in disease, which is ascertainable with scientific precision. Those properties and actions of drugs are the subject of pharmacology and toxicology ; the circumstances under which the several articles of the materia medica become remedial are the subject of therapeutics, and therapeutics is dependent for its scientific position upon the completeness of the theory of diseases, or pathology. Disease is the correlative of health, and the word is not capable of a more penetrating definition. From the time of Galen, however, it has been usual to speak of the life of the body either as proceeding in accordance with nature (/cara (f)vcrLv, secundum naturani) or as overstepping the bounds of nature (Trapa <t cru/, prseter naturam). Taking disease to be a deflexion from the line of health, the first requisite of medicine is an extensive and intimate acquaintance with the norm of the body. The normal condition of the body is capable of being determined without ambiguity ; it is the absence from its structures and functions of every disease hitherto known. The structure and functions of the body form the subject of anatomy and physiology. Physiology is, strictly speaking, the science of that which is Kara (frvo-Lv, or secundum natitram, and it is usual to say that the theory of diseases is based upon physiology. But, although all that was implied in the Hippocratic term </R o-is (natura) may be claimed as the subject-matter of physiology, yet, in the ordinary connotation of the term, physiology divides the empire with anatomy. To physio

logy the functions of the body are usually assigned, and to
