Lend support to the man who has experienced the same misadventure as yourself and many others. Isocrates. Panathenaicus. Speech 12. Section 75.
Image: INFLUENCE FOR 45 GENERATIONS (early 1950s) by American Illustrator Robert Thom (1915-1979). "The prominent Greek physician Galen, born in 129 C.E., whose rational, systematic approach dominated Western medicine for centuries, is shown using heated cups to draw blood to the surface in preparation for blood-letting, which Galen advocated for many ills. - A Gift of Art and History: Medical paintings from Pfizer: a remarkable product of their time."
Interesting note: I have seen a bronze oil lamp like the one pictured on the side table at an exhibit of artifacts recovered from Pompeii. The illustrator must have seen a similar one too.
