    Hippocrates believed that water had to be clean and pure. Rainwater was the best water, but had to be boiled and strained before drinking to get rid of the "bad smell" and to avoid hoarseness of the voice. [3] [4] He designed a crude water filter to “purify” the water he used for his patients. Later known as the “Hippocratic sleeve ...
