NUTRIMENT

NUTRIMENT
 [p. 355]

PART 32

XXXII. Power one, and not one, by which all these things and those of a different sort are managed ; one for the life of whole and part, not one for the sensation of whole and part.


PART 33

XXXIII. Milk nutriment, for those to whom milk is a natural nutriment, but for others it is not. For some wine is nutriment, for others not. So with meats and the other many forms of nutriment, the differences being due to place and habit.


PART 34

XXXIV. Nourishment is sometimes into growth and being, sometimes into being only, as is the case with old men ; sometimes in addition it is into strength. The condition of the athlete is not natural. A healthy state is superior in all.


PART 35

XXXV. It is a great thing successfully to adapt quantity to power.


PART 36

XXXVI. Milk and blood are what is left over from nutriment.


PART 37

XXXVII. Periods generally harmonise for the embryo and its nutriment ; and again nutriment tends upwards to milk and the nourishment of the baby.


PART 38

XXXVIII. Inanimates get life, animates get life, the parts of animates get life.
