NUTRIMENT

NUTRIMENT
 [p. 353]

PART 27

XXVII. Sweet, not sweet ; sweet in power, like water, sweet to the taste, like honey. Signs of either are sores, eyes and tastings, which can also distinguish degrees. Sweet to sight, in colours and in combinations generally, sweet to a greater or less degree.


PART 28

XXVIII. Porousness of a body for transpiration healthy for those from whom more is taken ; denseness of body for transpiration unhealthy for those from whom less is taken. Those who transpire freely are weaker, healthier, and recover easily ; those who transpire hardly are stronger before they are sick, but on falling sick they make difficult recovery. These for both whole and part.


PART 29

XXIX. The lungs draw a nourishment which is the opposite of that of the body, all other parts draw the same.


PART 30

XXX. Beginning of nutriment of breath, nostrils, mouth, throat, lungs, and the transpiratory system generally. Beginning of nutriment, both wet and dry, mouth, oesophagus, stomach. The more ancient nutriment, through the epigastrium, where the navel is.


PART 31

XXXI. Root of veins, liver ; root of arteries, heart. Out of these travel to all parts blood and breath, and heat passes through them.
