Hunger, we are firmly perfwadtd does not arife but 
through an Accumulation of the Saliva in the Stomach, 
in Conjundtion with the Liquor of the Glands of that 
part ; whence it is we rather difcharge the Spittle at that 
time by the Mouth, then to fijfFer any more of it to de- 
fcend into the Ventricle ; Hence proceeds what we call 
The Watering of the Mouth ; Hence alfb, when the 
Saliva is vitiated, the Appetite is Deprav'd. 
^ The Stomach, by means of its Mufiukr Filres con- 
trading it ftlf, does gradually difcharge its Contents by 
the Pylorus into the Duodenum^ in which Gut, after a 
fmair Semicircular defcent, it meets with the Pancrca- 
tick Juice and Bile ; both which joining v/ith it, ren- 
ders fome parts of the Aliment more fluid, by flii! difii- 
niting the groffer parts from the more pure ; and here 
Chylification is made perfect. The Bile which abounds 
with Lixivial Silts, and apt to intangle with the grofler 
parts of the Concodled Aliment, ftimulates the Guts, 
and Deterges or Cleanfes their Cavities of the Mucous 
Matter, feparated from the Blood by Glands of the 
Guts, and lodged in their Cavities ; which not only 
moiftens the infides of the Guts, but defends the Mouths 
of the Ladleal Veflels from being injured by Alien Bodies 
which often pafs that way.
