there is no time or energy sufficient to digest slowly digesting food, then we need fast-penetrating food. One should beware of giving fast-digesting food when it comes to eating previously-eaten, slowly-digesting food. Then we are afraid that both of them will mix and get what we have outlined above. We are also wary of junk food after learning that blockages have begun to appear. However, we prefer highly nutritious and slow-digesting foods when we want to strengthen the patient and prepare him for vigorous exercise, and prefer light foods for those who have a faster pore thickening. As for treatment with drugs, there are three rules for it: 1) the rule for choosing a medicine by its quality, that is, the choice of hot or cold, wet or dry, 2) the rule for choosing a medicine by quantity, and this rule contains the rule of measurement weight, and the rule for measuring properties, that is, degrees of hotness, coldness, and other things, 3) the rule for distributing the time of taking the medicine. As for the rule of choice for the quality of drugs in general, the choice will go along the right path when recognizing the type of disease. Indeed, when the quality of the disease is understood, it is necessary to choose a medicine with the opposing quality, for the disease is cured by the counteraction, and health is preserved by assistance. The quantitative measurement of a drug in two respects, taken as a whole, is made by the discernment of the medical arts, based on the nature of the organ, the degree of disease, and the factors that indicate the appropriateness and appropriateness of these drugs; these factors are gender, age, habit, season, country, profession, strength, and appearance. Knowledge of the nature of an organ embraces the knowledge of four things: 1) the nature of the organ, 2) its natural structure, 3) its position and 4) its strength. As far as the nature of an organ is concerned, if its natural nature and its morbid nature are known, then through the insight of medical art it is known how much its nature has deviated from its natural nature; the amount of what will return nature to its natural state is determined. For example, if a healthy nature is cold, and a painful one is hot, it means that the latter has deviated from its natural nature very much, and strong cooling is needed. If both natures are hot, then a weak cooling is sufficient in this matter. Regarding the natural structure of the organ, we have already said that it embraces several meanings - let them take a closer look at this place. Then know that some organs by their structure have convenient channels and have empty spaces inside and outside, and therefore the excess is removed from them with the help of mild and moderate medicines; others are not, and then there is a need for strong medicines. Some organs are also loose, while others are dense. For a loose organ, a light medicine is enough, and for a dense one, a strong medicine is needed. Most of all, an organ that does not have a cavity at either of its two ends and does not have free space is in need of a strong medicine. This is followed by an organ that has this at one end. Then such an organ, which has free space on both sides, but itself is compact and dense, such as the kidneys. Then one that has cavities on both sides, but it is loose, such as the lungs. As for the position of the organ, it is known to determine either the place of the disease or its complicity in the disease of another organ. The use of the position of the organ associated with the knowledge of this complicity is especially important when you choose the side where the medicine is attracted and directed. For example, if the bad juice is in the convex part of the liver, then we remove it together with urine, and if it is in the deep part of the liver, then we remove it with the help of a laxative, because the convex part of the liver participates with the urinary organs, and its deep part - with intestines. Using the location of the organ, they pay attention to three circumstances: 1) Its remoteness and proximity to the place of taking the medicine; if it is close, such as the stomach, then moderate medicines reach it in the shortest possible time and do their job there while maintaining their strength. But if an organ is removed, such as the lungs, then the strength of moderate drugs, before they reach the organ, is lost and therefore it becomes necessary to increase the strength of the drug. The strength of the medicine, meeting with a nearby organ, must be so great as to counteract the disease. If, however, there is a large distance between the organ and the drug, and there is a disease in which the drug, in order to penetrate the organ, needs a force that penetrates deeply, then it is necessary that the force of the drug be greater than required, such as medicinal dressings for inflammation of the sciatic nerve and other things; 2) Determining what needs to be mixed with the medicine so that it quickly penetrates the diseased organ: for example, a diuretic is added to medicines for the urinary organs, and saffron is added to heart medicines; 3) Determining from which side the medicine comes. For example, if we know that there is an ulcer in the lower intestines, then we inject the medicine through an enema, and if we suspect that there is an ulcer in the upper intestines, then we inject the medicine through drinking. Sometimes both signs are taken into account together, that is, both the location and complicity of the functions of the organs.
