Fitting to Thanksgiving for this month an Aphorism about diet: Thin, restricted diets are dangerous both in all chronic diseases and in those acute ones where they are not admissible. So too diets that are extreme regarding thinness are dangerous. For eating up to the extreme is also dangerous.(I.4)

Fortifications from the Iron Age oasis of al-Tibq, north-west Arabia.
Many oases in the region were enclosed by a network of monumental walls. Not just defensive, they represent the complete takeover of the well-watered landscape by a political entity.

Our aphorism for the "Übergangszeit":
ἐν τῇσιν ὥρῃσιν, ὅταν τῆς αὐτῆς ἡμέρης ὁτὲ μὲν θάλπος, ὁτὲ δὲ ψῦχος γένηται, φθινοπωρινὰ τὰ νουσήματα προσδέχεσθαι χρή. (III.4)
"When during the seasons there is now heat, then cold on the same day, one must expect diseases to be autumnal."

The existence of bacteria was first reported #OnThisDay in AD 1683 by Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, leading to his moniker 'the Father of Microbiology'.
This was especially important for a period when the urban population was growing and sanitation struggling to keep up 1/2

We are used to think of sleep as the best way to recover during an illness. A Hippocratic doctor responds:
ἐν ᾧ νοσήματι ὕπνος πόνον ποιέει, θανάσιμον: ἢν δὲ ὕπνος ὠφελέῃ, οὐ θανάσιμον. (II.1)
"If sleep during an illness causes distress, it is deadly; but if sleep is beneficial, it is not deadly."
ἐν ᾧ νοσήματι ὕπνος πόνον ποιέει, θανάσιμον: ἢν δὲ ὕπνος ὠφελέῃ, οὐ θανάσιμον. (II.1)
"If sleep during an illness causes distress, it is deadly; but if sleep is beneficial, it is not deadly."
