came to eat hard meals, n ^^minated like other Goats* 
The cheif motive to J{umi^artzd7i lecms to be the hard- 
nefs and grofnefsof the meat^'as (wallowed at firftj the 
Stcmack being not able to matter it, unlels it be more 
throiighly mafticated : hence Cattel the Cud more 
frequently in Winter when they feed on hay^ ftubble, 5cc. 
then in Summer when on graft ^ and Calves, 6tG. do not 
'^ruinate at all, as long as they live on 'milk. 
'Rufnination in Men proceeds, as he thinks, either from 
the imagination of the Mother being intent on this a- 
(Slion, or from fome ill habit of vomiting, and fwallow- 
ing the meat again ; checure of it in men, (where it is 
preternatural) confifts in a fmall quaflsity of meat eafily 
digelted , chewing it well, and walking gently after 
eating : liquid meats are preferd before lolids, efpecially 
at the beginning, to break the habit- 
He treats of tli^e Food oi B^minating Creatures, and 
their manner of Feeding ; of the advantage they are to 
Mankind, and this ad:ion is to them, and confequently 
to us, as being that which conduces much to the ftrength 
and health of both them and us. 
As to the Impediments of ^imination^ they are gene- 
rally three ; fome difeafe or eUe an excefs, or ill quality 
of the food; if excefs be the caufe, the Author faies it will 
give prefent r^leif, to thruft in your arm as far as you can^ 
and pull out fome of the food, and afterwards to drive 
the beaft up and down; not fuffering him to drink. 
At laft (by way of Appendix) the Author adds Letters 
from Webferm, Wagnerws^ Harderus, and Muraltm» con- 
cerning the aforefaid fubjedt.
