Scurvy/treatment

Famous quotes containing the words scurvy and/or treatment:

“You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well it doesn’t, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things I’d say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.”
—Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

“I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
—Hippocrates (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.)
