{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"p-left\">The rubbing of the feet also with the fatness of warming\r\nor cooling unguents is practised om account of its beneficial effects;\r\nso consequently, in the case of those who are thus saturated, an\r\nattraction and flow take place from the head to the inferior members.\r\nBut pleasure to which no utility attaches, induces the suspicion of\r\nmeretricious habits, and is a drug provocative of the passions. Rubbing\r\none’s self with ointment is entirely different from anointing one’s\r\nself with ointment. The former is effeminate, while anointing with\r\nointment is in some cases beneficial. Aristippus the philosopher,\r\naccordingly, when anointed with ointment, said “that the wretched\r\nCinœdi deserved to perish miserably for bringing the utility of\r\nointment into bad repute.” “Honour the physician for his usefulness,”\r\nsays the Scripture, “for the Most High made him; and the art of healing\r\nis of the<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_235\">[235]</span> Lord.” Then he adds, “And the compounder of unguents will\r\nmake the mixture,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_550\" id=\"FNanchor_550\">[550]</a> since unguents have been given manifestly for\r\nuse, not for voluptuousness. For we are by no means to care for the\r\nexciting properties of unguents, but to choose what is useful in them,\r\nsince God hath permitted the production of oil for the mitigation of\r\nmen’s pains.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER VIII.
