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., nd that can properly be called stimulating. Allstimulus, therefore, is directly opposed to healthful nutrition,and a source of useless expenditure or waste of vital power. Different substances taken into the stomach with food, or asfood, may excite preternatural actions or commotions—arousevital resistance—but such effects are no parts of their nutritiveoperations or qualities. Stimulus has no applicability to food;it applies only to foreign substances, as drugs, medicines, andother poisons. Brandy applied to a feeble stomach, or the lashapplied to a jaded horse, is a good illustration of a stimulantoperation. Each induces action without affording materialwhereby to sustain that action. Rest and pure aliment are theonly true restoratives in either case; and to neither of thesecan attach the idea of that preternatural turbulence of the or-ganism which denotes the operation of a stimulus. 120 H ydrot atii ic Cook-Bo ok.
