Simple and compound drugs (al-adwiya al-mufrada wal-murakkaba)

Book II of the Canon is on simple drugs, and its first part sets out the natural rules for knowing them in six treatises, among them the knowing of their temperaments by experiment and by analogy. For experiment Ibn Sina sets seven conditions, among them that the drug be free of an accidental quality, that the illness be a single one, and that the trial be on the human body. Book V is on compound drugs, the pharmacopoeia (al-aqrabadhin), and opens with a treatise on why compounding is needed.
