In his &#039;&#039;[[Natural History (Pliny)|Natural History]]&#039;&#039;, [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]] gave a [[traditional medicine|list of conditions]] in which garlic was considered beneficial (&#039;&#039;N.H.&#039;&#039; xx. 23). [[Galen]], writing in the second century, eulogized garlic as the &quot;rustic&#039;s theriac&quot; (cure-all) (see F. Adams&#039; &#039;&#039;Paulus Aegineta&#039;&#039;, p.&amp;nbsp;99). [[Alexander Neckam]], a writer of the 12th century (see Wright&#039;s edition of his works, p.&amp;nbsp;473, 1863), discussed it as a [[palliative]] for the heat of the sun in field labor. In the 17th century, [[Thomas Sydenham]] valued it as an application in confluent [[smallpox]], and [[William Cullen]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Materia Medica&#039;&#039; of 1789 found some [[dropsy|dropsies]] cured by it alone.</div>
