Another most important group of works consists of those in which the philosophic element predominates over the scientific, the writers being anxious, not to advance the practice of medicine, but to bring medicine under the control of philosophic dogma, to achieve in fact the end attacked by the writer of Ancient Medicine. These works are Nutriment, Regimen I. and Airs. The first two are Heraclitean ; the last is probably derived from Diogenes of Apollonia.
