1 1| whichreceives the yellow bile - not only differ from all
2 1| the matter of the yellow bile, he makes an even grander
3 1| dejections contain absolutely no bile, and that the whole body
4 1| nonsense about the black bile and the spleen, not understanding
5 1| nor a disease of black bile, nor would he agree with
6 1| of them purge away yellow bile, and others black, some
7 1| themselves, justas yellow bile is produced by the biliary
8 1| away a great quantityof bile, and the skin of patients
9 1| only fails to evacuate the bile from the bodies of jaundicedsubjects,
10 1| turns the useful blood into bile, and dissolvesthe body;
11 1| that in a young man more bile is evacuated, and in anold
12 1| generated by the kidneys as is bile by the canals inthe liver -
13 1| theblood nor that of the bile; or if that of these latter
14 2| another, and the yellow bile separated out on yet another
15 2| the secretion of yellow bile. For in this case, too,
16 2| error. For if the yellow bile adjusts itself to the narrower
17 2| that blood is thicker and bile thinner, and that the stomata
18 2| bile-ducts quicker than does the bile, exactly in proportion as
19 2| as it is thinner than the bile! How is it, then, that it
20 2| urine is thicker than bile!" This was what one of our
21 2| these in the case of the bile and blood. For, if it be
22 2| be that we are to look on bile as thinner than blood because
23 2| more easily even than does bile, by these tokens bile must
24 2| does bile, by these tokens bile must also be thicker than
25 2| which will demonstrate that bile is thinner than the serous
26 2| the secretion of urine and bile, and the conception of some
27 2| passages take over the bile, and secondly, the [branches]
28 2| unnecessary to know how bile comes into existence in
29 2| say about yellow or black bile, or phlegm? Well, of course,
30 2| course, he might say that the bile could come directly from
31 2| that no good comes from the bile, do you venture to say that
32 2| minimum or a maximum of bile; for the one kind is harmless,
33 2| containing a large quantity of bile, owing to the fact that
34 2| occur where there is much bile. Surely, then, it is most
35 2| the first place, that the bile is contained in the food
36 2| contains a great deal of bile, and bread very little,
37 2| articles which contain more bile, rather than those containing
38 2| What, however, if the bile is not contained in the
39 2| a smaller occurrence of bile? For obviously it is in
40 2| truth about the genesis of bile. Certainly it is not impossible,
41 2| why honey produces yellow bile is not that it contains
42 2| altered and transmuted into bile. For it would be bitter
43 2| the taste if it contained bile from the outset, and it
44 2| produce an equal quantity of bile in every person who took
45 2| changes entirely into yellow bile. Old people, however, it
46 2| it undergoes is not into bile, but into blood. Erasistratus,
47 2| investigate whether the bile is contained in the food
48 2| warmer are more productive of bile, while those which are colder
49 2| naturally warmer tend more to bile, and the colder more to
50 2| warmer ones from yellow bile. There is not a single thing
51 2| proportionate, and yellow bile of disproportionate heat.
52 2| we naturally find yellow bile appearing in greatest quantity
53 2| is easily transmuted into bile in those people who are
54 2| combination and turns into bile sooner than into blood.
55 2| honey is productive of bile, whereas in opposite circumstances
56 2| produce in certain persons bile and in others blood, if
57 2| articles of food contained bile from the beginning and of
58 2| take it, be productive of bile, while that which tasted
59 2| the smallest quantity of bile. Moreover, not only honey
60 2| are readily converted into bile in the aforesaid bodies
61 2| similarly also that yellow bile is warm and dry, even though
62 2| not know that when yellow bile is contained in large quantity
63 2| humours alone? No; the black bile is such a humour. This,
64 2| size for that of yellow bile, does the humour which is
65 2| if it proceeds from black bile"; while that proceeding
66 2| that proceeding from yellow bile is by no means deadly, and
67 2| potentialities is black than yellow bile. Has Erasistratus, then,
68 2| that this humour is black bile [atrabiliary] and that the
69 2| correctly compare yellow bile to the first of these, and
70 2| first of these, and black bile to the latter, although
71 2| so; for then the yellow bile becomes vitelline, being
72 2| and again, even the black bile itself becomes much more
73 2| black humour and not black bile to the normal portion of
74 2| stomach-contents]; and they call black bile that part which, through
75 2| and fat), becomes yellow bile, and is cleared away through
76 2| action. ~ Now the vitelline bile also may take on the appearance
77 2| of this combusted black bile, if ever it chance to be
78 2| And all the other forms of bile are produced, some the from
79 3| bladder by the liver draws bile into itself, while it is
80 3| dissected, an equal quantity of bile in the gall-bladder. This
81 3| stomach contains - phlegm, bile, pneuma, [innate] heat,
82 3| the quantity or that the bile has changed in quality to
83 3| intestine, on the other hand the bile even more readily than the
84 3| the secretion of urine or bile. ~ Now, when we find that
