I notice that in one of his anatomical treatises, Galen speaks with affection of a citizen of Pergamos who has been a great benefactor of the AEsculapian temple of that city.

In "Marius, the Epicurean," Pater gives a delightful sketch of one of those temple health resorts, and brings in Galen, stating that he had himself undergone the temple sleep; but to this I can find no reference in the general index of Galen's works.
From the votive tablets found at Epidaurus, we get a very good idea of the nature of the cases and of the cures.

A large number of them have now been deciphered.

There are evidences of various forms of diseases of the joints, affections of women, wounds, baldness, gout; but we are again in the world of miracles, as you may judge from the following: "Heraicus of Mytilene is bald and entreats the God to make his hair grow.

An ointment is applied over night and the next morning he has a thick crop of hair." There are indications that operations were performed and abscesses opened.
