EARLY ROMAN MEDICINE.

of the early Empire.
The origin of the healing art in Ancient Rome is shrouded in uncertainty.
The earliest practice of medicine was undoubtedly theurgic, and common
to all primitive peoples. The offices of priest and of medicine-man were
combined in one person, and magic was invoked to take the place of knowl-
edge. There is much scope for the exercise of the imagination in attempting
to follow the course of early man in his efforts to bring plants into medici-
nal use. That some of the indigenous plants had therapeutic properties was
often an accidental discovery, leading in the next place to experiment and
observation. Cornelius Agrippa, in his book on occult philosophy, states
that mankind has learned the use of many remedies from animals. It has
even been suggested that the use of the enema was discovered by observing
a long-beaked bird drawing up water into its beak, and injecting the water
into the bowel. The practice of healing, crude and imperfect, progressed

slowly in ancient times and was conducted in much the same way in Rome,
and among the Egyptians, the Jews, the Chaldeans, Hindus and Parsees, and
the Chinese and Tartars.
The Etruscans had considerable proficiency in philosophy and medicine,
and to this people, as well as to the Sabines, the Ancient Romans were in-
debted for knowledge. Numa Pompilius, of Sabine origin, who was King
of Rome 715 B.C., studied physical science, and, as Livy relates, was struck
by lightning and killed as the result of his experiments, and it has therefore
been inferred that these experiments related to the investigation of electric-
ity. It is surprising to find in the Twelve Tables of Numa references to dental
operations. In early times, it is certain that the Romans were more prone to
learn the superstitions of other peoples than to acquire much useful knowl-
edge. They were cosmopolitan in medical art as in religion. They had ac-
quaintance with the domestic medicine known to all savages, a little rude
surgery, and prescriptions from the Sibylline books, and had much recourse
to magic. It was to Greece that the Romans first owed their knowledge of
healing, and of art and science generally, but at no time did the Romans
equal the Greeks in mental culture.
Pliny states that "the Roman people for more than six hundred years were
not, indeed, without medicine, but they were without physicians."

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
