 1 1|               the cause of this I call a faculty. Thus, whenfood turns into
 2 1|               The so-called blood-making faculty in the veins, then, as wellas
 3 1|           concepts;primarily because the faculty is the cause of the activity,
 4 1|                   it is obvious that the faculty also fallsinto the category
 5 1| blood-makingfaculty, as also a digestive faculty in the stomach, a pulsatile
 6 1|                the other parts a special faculty correspondingto the function

13 1|                    7. Passing now to the faculty of Growth let us first mention
14 1|            untilthe acme is reached, the faculty of growth is predominant,
15 1|                  is the property of this faculty of growth?To extend in every
16 1|               its cause is the nutritive faculty. Of course, thekind of activity
17 1|                  what ones the nutritive faculty requires. ~ ~10. For I believe
18 1|               the sake of this nutritive faculty. For since the action of
19 1|           doesnot exist any substance or faculty peculiar either to Nature
20 1|               soul possessesno reasoning faculty, but that we are led like
21 1|               yet another (an expulsive) faculty.~ ~13. Now the extent of
22 1|                  anypart of the animal a faculty for attracting its own special
23 1|              their characteristicuse and faculty. But, even leaving the butchers
24 1|                  there is in every bodya faculty which attracts its own particular
25 1|                 arrows all show the same faculty asdoes the lodestone. Thus,
26 1|                  whichexists possesses a faculty by which it attracts its
27 1|          notgoing to grant the kidneys a faculty for attracting this particularquality,
28 1|                 who donot allow Nature a faculty of her own. ~ ~For if it
29 1|                  there is any attractive faculty at all inthose things which
30 1|              have granted the attractive faculty of the kidneys. Now, althoughErasistratus
31 1|      althoughErasistratus knew that this faculty most certainly existed,
32 2|                 the kidneys possess some faculty which attracts to them this
33 2|                  or so-called epispastic faculty, there is then no difficulty
34 2|                 there were not an inborn faculty given by Nature to each
35 2|                 this material (for every faculty remains inoperative in the
36 2|             shall ascribe to the semen a faculty for attracting blood similar
37 2|                  some kind of attractive faculty. ~ And what is the semen?
38 2|            active principle employs this faculty primarily, therefore, in
39 2|                  be possessed of its own faculty. How, then, was Erasistratus
40 2|                  In fact, the alterative faculty has now been discovered
41 2|                 And, thirdly the shaping faculty will become evident, by
42 2|                takes away the attractive faculty from the biliary passages
43 2|                any use of the attractive faculty, or is it that the difficulty
44 2|           lodestone, the latter having a faculty attractive of this particular
45 2|                  possible that, when the faculty which naturally digests
46 2|             digestion fails, whereas the faculty which turns the digested
47 2|                we to suppose this latter faculty alone to be as tough as
48 2|                 it that weakness of this faculty will result in something
49 2|                  over this character and faculty is unnatural; it has assumed
50 3|               every part of the animal a faculty which in view of its activity
51 3|             ensured by virtue of another faculty which naturally attracts
52 3|               assimilation, and that the faculty which attracts the juice
53 3|          corresponding to the attractive faculty. For the actual bringing
54 3|             activation of the attractive faculty, whilst to have been finally
55 3|            nature has need of some other faculty for ensuring a prolonged
56 3|                 the part, and this not a faculty which comes in from somewhere
57 3|                 is to be nourished. This faculty, again, in view of its activity
58 3|                for the genesis of such a faculty, and whoever has an appreciation
59 3|                  she must also possess a faculty of this kind. ~ 2. Since,
60 3|                of the body the retentive faculty is so obvious that its operation
61 3|              sort of thing the retentive faculty is. ~ Now, could one begin
62 3|                 if they possess a strong faculty of this kind, its activation
63 3|              show, in a general way, the faculty in question, but because
64 3|              demonstrating the retentive faculty most plainly. For the stomach
65 3|                  to detect the retentive faculty in the uterus more clearly
66 3|             uterus brought its retentive faculty into play has been fulfilled,
67 3|            fulfilled, it then stops this faculty and brings it back to a
68 3|            employs instead of it another faculty hitherto quiescent - the
69 3|               quiescent - the propulsive faculty. In this case again the
70 3|                properly, the eliminative faculty remains quiescent as though
71 3|                period, but the retentive faculty forthwith ceases and allows
72 3|               the heretofore inoperative faculty to come into action. Now
73 3|                eliminative or propulsive faculty (for so it, too, has been
74 3|                the work of the retentive faculty to make the uterus contract
75 3|               opposite (the eliminative) faculty, the os opens, whilst the
76 3|                women who exercise such a faculty immoderately, violent pains
77 3|                employing its contractile faculty in the ordinary way, then,
78 3|                to succeed the attractive faculty and there were not a retentive
79 3|               there were not a retentive faculty between the two, there would
80 3|                too, there is a retentive faculty. ~ Similarly, too, the stomach,
81 3|               then, again, the retentive faculty is shown to have its necessary
82 3|              exercise of the eliminative faculty. ~ 7. But if the stomach
83 3|           demonstrate that the retentive faculty exists in every one of the
84 3|               above this, the alterative faculty. Thus, in the natural course
85 3|                 stomach - the attractive faculty in connection with swallowing,
86 3|                help to the action of the faculty which we have named retentive.
87 3|              demonstrate the eliminative faculty which expels foreign matter.
88 3|                   whilst the eliminative faculty is evident, the attractive
89 3|                  evident, the attractive faculty is not so obvious to most
90 3|             stomach and the womb of this faculty but also the bladder by
91 3|          particularly of the eliminative faculty, which is the opposite of
92 3|              vomiting. And the expulsive faculty has in it so violent and
93 3|                 determine this expulsive faculty, which apparently acts through
94 3|              tendency of the eliminative faculty is step by step upwards,
95 3|                  that all parts have the faculty of attracting what is suitable
