I tried to find the source of the quote on epilepsy from Hippocrates. It appears on Goodreads [1] but not in the version on classics.mit.edu [2]. A different version can be found at [3], but it also does not match. It seems that people are paraphrasing the message of Hippocrates's "On the Sacred Disease". Can anyone confirm?
