The harvard Classics edition of great papers in the history of science reprints a version of Hippocrates' famous Oath that includes the following passage: I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mishievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practical my Art. I will not cut persons labouring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischieft and corruption; and, futher, from the seduction of females or males, of freeman and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my profesional service, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it granted to me to enjoy life and the practise of the art, respected by all men, in all times. But should I treepass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.
