The first part deals with the theoretical principles of medicine, including discussions on the nature of disease, the principles of diagnosis, and the different methods of treatment.

He also provides advice on preventative measures, such as diet and exercise, and discusses the importance of hygiene and cleanliness in maintaining good health.Overall, Rational Physic Or The Art Of Healing is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the principles of rational and scientific thinking.
