Note 92 — PEPTIC PRECEPTS.
Reading edition
“Whosoever dreameth that no Sick Man should be allured to meat, by delightful and pleasant Sauces, seemeth as froward and fantastical as He that would never whet his knife.
“Why hath nature brought forth such variety of Herbs, Roots, Spices, &c. fit for nothing but Sauces, &c. but that by them, the Sick should be allured to feed.
“Abstinence is as dangerous, as Fulness and Satiety is inconvenient.”—Dr. Moffett on Foods, 12mo. 1746, p. 343.
