AB The  disease  is  produced  by  black  bile  when  it  flows  into  the  liver.  The  symptoms  are  these:  ‘an  acute  pain  in  the  liver,  also  below  the  breast,  a  feeling  of  suffocation  is  strong  during  these  days  and  becomes  less  strong  later’.  The  liver  is  tender  to  palpation  and  the  complexion  of  the  patient  is  somewhat  livid.  These  are  symptoms  that  occur  in  the  beginning  but  as  the  disease  progresses,  the  fever  diminishes  in  strength  and  the  patient  feels  sated  after  ingesting  a  little  amount  of  food.  He  must  drink  melikration  [a  mixture  of  water  and  honey].HIPPOCRATES  ON  HEPATITIS
