Adjective

iatromathematical ‎(comparative more iatromathematical, superlative most iatromathematical)

1. (obsolete) Pertaining to a practice of medicine in conjunction with astrology.
   • 1621, Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy, II.i.4.1:

     Paracelsus goes farther, and will have his physician predestinated to this man's cure, this malady, and time of cure, the scheme of each geniture inspected, gathering of herbs, of administering, astrologically observed; in which Thurnesserus and some iatromathematical professors are too superstitious in my judgment.

2. (now rare) Pertaining to a theory or practice of medicine founded on mathematical principles.
