 12 1|           the of nutriment by the stomach whichoccurs in the process
 13 1|         being carried up from the stomach to the liver.Why, then,
 14 2|         it is superfluous, if the stomach has the power of compressing
 15 2|         if the compression of the stomach becomes weaker the further
 16 2|       force of compression by the stomach to persist indefinitely,
 17 2|           squeezing action of the stomach, and the whole movement

 21 2|      chylification of food in the stomach) he did not deign to dispute
 22 2|         supposed, but because the stomach, with its activity impaired,
 23 2|      impaired the activity of the stomach. ~ Thus, for example, when

 29 2| Erasistrateans why it is that the stomach contracts upon the food,
 30 2|         view to treatment? If the stomach is, in a particular case,
 31 2|         must cool the over-heated stomach and warm the warm the chilled
 32 2|          these conditions; if the stomach becomes at the same time
 33 2|        and number? As regards the stomach, certainly, Erasistratus
 34 2|          in large quantity in the stomach, we are troubled with an
 35 3|          hollow and large are the stomach and the organ which is called
 36 3|     faculty most plainly. For the stomach retains the food until it
 37 3|         compared with that of the stomach. For, as we know, it takes
 38 3|        uterus; in the case of the stomach they appear as follows:-
 39 3|        symptom of weakness of the stomach; for sometimes when the
 40 3|        owing to the fact that the stomach is contracting accurately
 41 3|         point; sometimes when the stomach is full the gurglings yet
 42 3|       cannot take place in a weak stomach. In such people also, the
 43 3|       abnormally long time in the stomach, as would be natural if
 44 3|           the lower outlet of the stomach, being fairly narrow, will
 45 3|          oppress and overload the stomach, whereas in strong persons
 46 3|           is not only because the stomach is distended and loaded
 47 3|        find the food still in the stomach. For it is not chylification
 48 3|           be effected outside the stomach; the determining factor
 49 3|          digestion of food in the stomach involves a transmutation
 50 3|          descent of food from the stomach takes place. But even if
 51 3|       undergoing digestion in the stomach, still even then you would

 54 3|           the contractions of the stomach which are the cause of everything -
 55 3|    contents. The condition of the stomach, however, is found less

 59 3|    faculty. ~ Similarly, too, the stomach, when, as often happens,
 60 3|           the upper [part of the] stomach analogous to diarrhoea,
 61 3|            and it occurs when the stomach is overloaded or is unable
 62 3|         in the lower parts of the stomach, while the parts about the
 63 3|         condition is in the upper stomach, the lower parts being normal,
 64 3|          nauseated and feel their stomach turned up, and endeavouring
 65 3|         necessary origin: for the stomach obviously inclines towards
 66 3|          faculty. ~ 7. But if the stomach both retains and benefits

 68 3|          its association with the stomach. For it is impossible for
 69 3|           do so equally. Thus the stomach will subdue and alter its
 70 3|         only to consider what the stomach contains - phlegm, bile,
 71 3|        the whole substance of the stomach. And if one considers along

 77 3|           shown to take on in the stomach a quality appropriate to

 84 3|          Now the fact is that the stomach possesses two coats, which
 85 3|      similar to what it is in the stomach, and the other one tending
 86 3|        not exercise traction. The stomach, again, has some of its

 90 3|     circular fibres (by which the stomach as well as other parts performs
 91 3|     breadth. For he says that the stomach contracts peristaltically
 92 3|          therefore clear that the stomach attracts food by the gullet. ~
 93 3|          results the coats of the stomach being brought into action,
 94 3|         desire on the part of the stomach, there is in the case of
 95 3|      opposite dispositions of the stomach itself; it yearns after
 96 3|        foods as are proper to the stomach; this organ obviously draws
 97 3|        that the inner coat of the stomach (that containing longitudinal
 98 3|       exerting a pull the from to stomach, and that it is only in
 99 3|     appetite is very intense, the stomach rises up, so that some people
100 3|          condition say that their stomach "creeps out" of them; in
101 3|        properly in the mouth, the stomach obviously snatches away
102 3|     generous proportions, and the stomach situated close to it (as
103 3|         point of catching it, the stomach should, under the impulse
104 3|         any other way than by the stomach drawing the food to itself
105 3|       with our hands, so also the stomach stretches itself forward
106 3|         forwards brings the whole stomach into the mouth. ~ Now the
107 3|     forced with the food into the stomach, but that, when there only
108 3|          is swallowed reaches the stomach. The only correct thing
109 3|       food being attracted by the stomach, or conducted by the gullet.
110 3|         faculties existing in the stomach - the attractive faculty
111 3|          who are very hungry, the stomach obviously attracts or draws
112 3|          being forced to eat, the stomach is displeased and rejects
113 3|     contents at every point - the stomach during the whole period
114 3|   similarly arteries resemble the stomach. Alone of all organs the
115 3|          reversed. Thus, when the stomach is sufficiently filled with
116 3|           to take the case of the stomach: the irritation is evident
117 3|           relation to the uterus, stomach, and intestines, as well
118 3|        obviously the inlet to the stomach does not merely conduct
119 3|           deprived not merely the stomach and the womb of this faculty
120 3|         find that the uterus, the stomach and the bladder by the liver
121 3|         waste-substances into the stomach through the veins. Still
122 3|           from the liver into the stomach through the same veins by
123 3|       liver and the region of the stomach fulfil a double service
124 3|           than the intestines and stomach, and the arteries than the
125 3|        power at one time, and the stomach at another. For when there
126 3|        full and distended and the stomach empty and in need, then
127 3|           In a similar manner the stomach easily attracts nutriment
128 3|       from the liver when it [the stomach] has a sufficiently strong
129 3|          not hungry; for when the stomach has better and more available
130 3|   response to the traction of the stomach, on the occasions when the
131 3|       liver to the intestines and stomach by way of the very veins
132 3|     leading to the intestines and stomach. ~ To imagine that matter
133 3|       surplus matter. ~ Hence the stomach clears away by vomiting
134 3|         sick, this means that the stomach is striving to be evacuated
135 3|         jejunum, the pylorus, the stomach, and the oesophagus. What
136 3|          reach the intestines and stomach? This also was pointed out
137 3|            how, for instance, the stomach or intestines get nourished,
138 3|           from the liver into the stomach and intestines, and do you
139 3|       drawn back from it into the stomach by the same veins? You must
140 3|          draws nutriment from the stomach, and at another the stomach
141 3|       stomach, and at another the stomach from the liver. But if your
142 3|       liver to the intestines and stomach reverse the direction not
143 3|         end of eating is that the stomach should be filled, similarly
144 3|          every part has, like the stomach, a craving to be nourished,
145 3|        clasps it all round as the stomach does. And this [action of
146 3|           And this [action of the stomach], as has been already said,
147 3|          the other parts that the stomach contracts upon it; if it
148 3|    alternatives]. ~ But while the stomach contracts for the reason
149 3|          nutriment remains in the stomach and is digested and presented
150 3|     digested and presented to the stomach until satiety is reached,
151 3|           it is taken up from the stomach to the liver. ~ During the
152 3|         what was presented to the stomach in the first period becomes
153 3|       During the third period the stomach has reached the stage of
154 3|          during the time that the stomach is again digesting and getting
155 3|   nutriment presented. And if the stomach is forced to remain without
156 3|          way, therefore, that the stomach, when it is in need of nourishment
157 3|         intestine, colon, and the stomach itself. Nor is it surprising
158 3|          surplus matters into the stomach at one time, while at another
159 3|    appropriate nutriment from the stomach. ~ For, as has already been
160 3|         liver and spleen into the stomach by the same vessels by which
161 3|          arteries which go to the stomach and intestines takes place
162 3|   contained in the intestines and stomach, since they first become
163 3|        elaborated - gets from the stomach into the arteries, since
