the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

I swear by Apollo Physician, by Asclepius, by Health, by Panacea, and by all the gods and
goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and
judgement, this oath and this indenture. I will use treatment to help the sick according to
my ability and judgement, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I
administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course.
Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy
both my life and my art. In whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I
will abstain from all intentional wrongdoing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of
man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my
profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will
never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets. Now if I carry out this oath, and
break it not, may I gain forever reputation among all men for my life and art.
Hippocrates

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have

hundred.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like,

at night is injurious to the health and not useful to the mind.
