Original question.
Τάμνειν δὲ τὴν ἐπ’ ἀγκῶνι τὴν κοίλην· ἀτὰρ ἠδὲ διὰ σμικρῆς τῆς σχάσιος ἀφαιρέειν, ὡς μὴ σφόδρα τῇ δυνάμει ἐπίδηλον ᾖ. ἐλέγχει γὰρ τὴν φύσιν τὸ ἀθρόον· καὶ πολλόν τι μεῖον ἢ δι’ ἄλλας προφάσιας ἀφαιρέειν. ἢν γὰρ ἐπὶ συγκοπῇ καὶ σμικρὸν ἁμαρτώῃ, ῥηϊδίως εἰς ᾅδου τρέπει. αὐτίκα ὦν διδόναι τροφὴν ἐς νεόχμωσιν τῆς δυνάμιος· γάνυται γὰρ ἡ φύσις καὶ τῇ τῶν παλαιῶν ἀπαλλαγῇ, καὶ τῇ τῶν ποταινίων προσθήκῃ. Ἢν δὲ φλεβοτομίην μὲν ἡ δύναμις ἀποτρέπῃ, φλεγμασίαι δὲ ἔωσι, σικύην τῇδε προσβάλλειν πολὺ πρόσθεν τῆς κρίσιος τοῦ νοσήματος. ἐν κρισίμοισι γὰρ ἡ συγκοπή· ἐπεὶ τῇσι αὐτέῃσι περιόδοισι αἵ τε φύσιες κρίνουσι, αἵ τε νοῦσοι κτείνουσι. κἢν γὰρ ἐς ἀνάγκην οἰνοποσίης ἥκῃ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, οὐ κάρτα ἀσφαλὲς ἐπὶ φλεγμονῇσι οἰνοποτέειν. οἶνος γὰρ φλεγμαίνουσι μὲν πόνων ἐπίδοσις, ἀφλεγμαίντοισι δὲ φύσιος αὔξησις. ἐπίπροσθεν δὲ τῆς σικύης, πρὸ μιῆς ἢ δευτέρης, ἐπιπλάσιος χρέος, ἐς τε ἄνεσιν τῶν μερέων, ἀτὰρ ἠδὲ ἐς εὐροὴν τοῦ αἵματος· μετεξετέροισι δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ σικύῃ ἐς τὴν δευτέρην ἐπιπλάσσειν. ἔστω δὲ καὶ τῇδε φειδώ· κίνδυνος γὰρ ὡυτὸς τοῦ αἵματος τῆς ἀμετρίης καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ σικύῃ. κλυσμοῖσι δὲ ἐπὶ σκυβάλοισι παλαιοῖσι μοῦνον χρέο· τῆς δυνάμιος δὲ φείδεο.

Original question.
Opus etiam esse cucurbitula potest in morbis longis, quamvis et iis jam spatium aliquod accessit ; sive corrupta materia, sive spiritu male habente : in acutis quoque quibusdam, si et levari corpus debet, et ex vena sanguinem mitti vires non patiuntur. Idque auxilium ut minus vehemens, ita magis tutum ; neque umquam periculosum est, etiamsi in medio febris impetu, etiamsi in cruditate adhibetur. Ideoque ubi sanguinem mitti opus est, si incisa vena praeceps periculum est, aut si in parte corporis etiam vitium est, huc potius confugiendum est : cum eo tamen, ut sciamus, hic ut nullum periculum, ita levius praesidium esse ; nec posse vehementi malo, nisi aeque vehemens auxilium succurrere.
Celsus. Lib. 2. § 11.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
