Translation<\/h1>\n

  1. About fingers. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fingers are put on the hand, so that the hand may be enabled for all acts. <\/span>Certainly the fingers are known for,<\/span> as Aristotle said, <\/span>being fitted for taking in,<\/span> holding back and offering, and especially for separating things. The thumb among the fingers is incomplete and thick on account of strong <\/span>activities<\/span>; and no man is being helped without the thumb by means of the other fingers. The vigor of the thumb is equal to the strength of all the fingers, which are on the hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you hurt your fingers and they stiffened<\/span>, you do that same thing, which we said about the hand. But, if the fingers have taken hold to be drawn together and to be rolled back into the hand, when you first draw your attention to it, you bind the hand, stretched out <\/span>with<\/span> the fingers above the splint and make a <\/span>poultice<\/span>, which <\/span>we said above, concerning the hands,<\/span> with leaves of cinnamon, and the castor bean plant joined in the mixture<\/span>.<\/span>  However, you might drink the <\/span>castor bean plant<\/span> with wine.<\/span><\/p>\n
