. The new hydropathic cook-book : with recipes for cooking on hygienic principles : containing also a philosophical exposition of the relations of food to health : the chemical elements and proximate constitution of alimentary principles : the nutritive properties of all kinds of aliments : the relative value of vegetable and animal substances : the selection and preservation of dietetic materials, etc., able sensation, is superadded the necessity of directand constant attention tc the pleasure included in the gratifi-cation of the taste. It is justly observed by Dr. A. Combe,that without some degree of attention to the process of eating,and some distinct perception of its gratefulness, the food cannot be duly digested. When the mind is so absorbed as tobe wholly unconscious of it, or even indifferent to it, the foodis swallowed without mastication; then it lies in the stomachfor hours together without being acted upon by the gastricjuice, and if this be clone often, the stomach becomes so muchdisordered as to lose its power of digestion, and death is theinevitable result: so that not only is pleasurable sensationannexed to the reception of food, but the direct and continuousconsciousness of that pleasurable sensation during the act ofeatin is made one of the conditions of the due performance ofthe digestive function.
