Note 564 — ON REGIMEN IN ACUTE DISEASES.
Francis Adams translation
Dr. Tweedie’s observations agree so well with those of Hippocrates, that I will give the reader an opportunity of comparing them together. “This organ (the stomach), in convalescence, partakes of the external or muscular debility, and the convalescent may as well expect to be able to carry a heavy load on his shoulders as to digest an undue quantity of food, even of a suitable kind.” (p. 215.)
