Ppetite ismoved chiefly by things that are cold and dry. The caufe is, | 
A for that Cold isa kinde of indigenceof Nature,and calleth uponiu ply, 
andfo is Drynefs: Andtherefore all four things (as Vinegar, Fuyce of Lemmons, | 
Oyl of Visriol, Gc) provoke Appetite. And the Difeale wnich they call} 
cAppetisus Caninus, confilteth inthe Matter of an Acide and GlaffiePhiegm | 
in the Mouth of theStomack, Appetite is alfo moved by fourthings, for} 
that four things induce acontradtion in the Nerves, placed inthe Mouch: of | 
the Stomack, which isa great caufeof Appetite. As for thecaufe wiy One| 
ons, and Salt, and Pepper in Baked Meats moveAppetite, iris by Vellication | 
of thofe Nerve: s forMotion whetreth. As for Wormwood, Olives, Capers, and 
others of thatkinde, which participate of Bitternefs, they move Appetite | 
by Abfterfion. So asthere be four principal caufes of Appetite; the Refi. } 
geration of the Stomack joyned with fome Drynefs, Contraction, -Vellicati-
