First Lung Specialist
The first real doctor was Hipporrates, who was born about 460 8.C., and died about 377 B.C. He brought science to the art of healing. Lung troubles were his speciility. For sufferers he prescribed sunshine and rest, nourishing food, and plenty of milk. It was nearly 2200 years before another doctor recommended similar treatment for tuberculosis of the lungs. He was centuries ahead of his time. Had he lived in a' later age, he would have been known as a great physician.
