Liber VIII

 [p. 586] tantum ne moveatur neve dependeat. In omnique tali morbo magnum ex longa fame praesidium est, deinde ex curatione eadem, quae proposita est (10.7D), ubi ossibus fractis vulnus accessit. Si nudum os eminet, impedimento semper futurum est: ideo quod excedit abscidendum est, inponendaque super arida linamenta sunt et medicamenta non pinguia, donec quae sola esse in eiusmodi re sanitas potest, veniat: nam et debilitas sequitur et tenuis cicatrix inducitur, quae necesse est facile noxae postea pateat.
