-
Same etymon. A sect of physicians whose doctrine was in vogue after that of the Empirics and Dogmatists, towards the end of the first century. According to the Methodists, of whom Themison was the chief, almost every disease is dependent on contraction or relaxation- strictrum or laxum. To these two causes, they added a third- mixed or compound- to include those affections which partook of the two characters. The doctrine, medicina methodica, resembled, in some respects, that of Brown.
