Part 40

Cheese is a peevish elf, It digests all but itself.

Caseus est nequam, Quia digerit omnia se quam.

The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Merryman.

Si tibi deficiant medici, medici tibi fiant Haec tria; mens laeta, requies, moderata diaeta.

Drink in the morning staring, Then all the day be sparing.

Eat a bit before you drink.

Feed sparingly and dupe the physician.

Better be meals many than one too many.

You should never touch your eye but with your elbow.

Non patitur ludum fama, fides, oculus.

The head and feet keep warm, the rest will take no harm.

Tenez chaud le pied et la tete, au demurant vives en bete.

Qui ne boit vin apres salade, est en danger d'etre malade.

Cover your head by day as much as you will, by night as much as you can.

Fish spoils water, but flesh mends it.

Apples, pears, and nuts spoil the voice.

Quartan agues kill old men and cure young.

Old fish, old oil, and an old friend.

Pesce, oglio, ed amico vecchio.

Raw pullet, veal, and fish, make the churchyard fat.

Of wine the middle, of oil the top, of honey the bottom.

Vino di mezzo, oglio di sopra, e miele di sotto.

The air of a window is the stroke of a cross-bow.

Aria di finestra, colpo di balestra.

Piscia chiaro, ed incaca al medico.

When the wind is in the east, it's neither good for man nor beast.

A hot May makes a fat churchyard.

That city is in a bad case, whose physicians have the gout.--Hebrew Proverb.
