[346b]
Would you identify medicine and the pilot's
art? Or if you please to discriminate 'precisely' as you proposed, none the
more if a pilot regains his health because a sea voyage is good for him, no
whit the more, I say, for this reason do you call his art medicine, do
you?” “Of course not,” he said.
“Neither, I take it, do you call wage-earning medicine if a man
earning wages is in health.” “ Surely not.”
