Table of Contents:
αὐτοῦ: poss. gen., to be closely connected with τοῖς πολίταις (“his fellow-citizens”).
ὃ μὴ ὀνήσει: the generic idea causes the negative μή.
τοὐναντίον: is certainly adverbial, and to be attached to ἔλαττον (ὀνήσει). The sense of this difficult passage seems to be something like this: “What advantage is there in giving to a sick man anything which cannot profit him, more or less”; literally, “sometimes more, or on the contrary, at least rightly considered, less.”
