exceedingly
well; and hence is liable to clog body and mind by over-eating; should
restrain appetite; will feel better by going without an occasional meal,
and is liable to dyspepsia. This faculty is liable to take on a diseased
action, and crave a much greater amount of food than nature requires, and
hence is the great cause of dyspepsia. Its diseased action may be known by
a craving, hankering, gone sensation before eating; by heart-burn, pain in
the stomach, belching of wind, a dull, heavy, or painful sensation in the
head, and a desire to be always nibbling at something; lives to eat,
instead of eating to live, and should at once be erased by omitting one
meal daily, and, in its stead, drinking abundantly of cold water.
Abstemiousness will rectify this depraved appetite, while over-eating will
only re-inflame both the stomach and its diseased hankering: p. 87.

FULL.--With a healthy stomach, eats freely what is offered, asking no
questions; enjoying it, but not extravagantly; rarely over-eats, except
when the stomach is disordered, and then experiences this hankering above
described, which light eating alone can cure. For combinations, see
Alimentiveness large: p. 87.

AVERAGE.--Enjoys food well, and eats with a fair relish; yet rarely
over-eats except when rendered craving by dyspeptic complaints: p. 86.

MODERATE.--Rather lacks appetite; eats with little relish, and hence
requires to pamper and cultivate appetite by dainties, and enjoying rich
favors; can relish food only when other circumstances are favorable; feels
little hunger, and eats to live, instead of lives to eat; with Eventuality
small, cannot remember from one meal to another what he had at the last:
p. 87.

SMALL.--Eats with long teeth, and little relish; hardly knows or cares
what or when he eats; and should pay more attention to duly feeding the
body: p. 88.

VERY SMALL.--Is almost wholly destitute of appetite.

This faculty is more liable to perversion than any other, and excessive
eating occasions more sickness, and depraves the animal faculties more
than all other causes combined. Properly to feed the body, is of the
utmost importance. Whenever this faculty becomes diseased, the first
object should be to restore its natural function by abstinence. Medicines
can never do it.
