NUTRIMENT
 [p. 359]

PART 43

XLIII. Nutriment of bones after breaking ; for the nostril, twice five ; for jaw, collar-bone and ribs, twice this ; for the fore-arm, thrice ; for the leg and upper-arm, four times ; for the thigh, five times ; there may be, however, in these a little more or less.


PART 44

XLIV. Blood is liquid and blood is solid. Liquid blood is good, liquid blood is bad. Solid blood is good, solid blood is bad. All things are good or bad relatively.


PART 45

XLV. The way up, down.


PART 46

XLVI. Power of nutriment superior to mass ; mass of nutriment superior to power ; both in moist things and in dry.


PART 47

XLVII. It takes away and adds not the same thing ; it takes away from one, and adds to another, the same thing.


PART 48

XLVIII. Pulsations of veins and breathing of the lungs according to age, harmonious and unharmonious, signs of disease and of health, and of health more than of disease, and of disease more than of health. For breath too is nutriment.


PART 49

XLIX. Liquid nutriment more easily changed than solid ; solid nutriment more easily changed than liquid. That which is hardly altered is hard of digestion, and that which is easily added is easy of digestion.
