Excerpt from Principia Therapeutica F it be true, as Plato, the master thinker, has said, that an unexamined life is not worth living, then it must follow, since the greater includes the less, that an unexamined practice is not worth practising. It is for this reason, and because we are in peril of being engulphed in the ever-rising ¿ood of new remedies, that l have ventured to set down certain considerations, in the hope that they may prove Of service to those who have undertaken to navigate the ship of health. There are who make light of general principles, knowledge of detail their sole demand, but this point Of view sees one side only of the Shield, be it silver or gold as it shall please them for whilst doubtless general principles without de tails make but a foolish business, it is no less true that details without guiding principles yield but a busy foolishness. In default, then, Of principles to guide, our ship of health is likely to find herself on a lee shore, in a welter of contending elements.
