Wind, bile and phlegm three cause disease
So doctors deem it more or less.
After digestion one who feeds
His body no medicine needs.
Eat food to digestive measure
Life in body lasts with pleasure.
Know digestion : with keen appetite
Eat what is suitable and right.
With fasting adjusted food right
Cures ills of life and makes you bright.
Who eats with clean stomach gets health
With greedy glutton abides ill-health.
Who glut beyond the hunger's fire
Suffer from untold diseases here.
Test disease, its cause and cure
And apply remedy that is sure.
Let die skillful doctor note
The sickman, sickness, season and treat.
Patient, doctor, medicine and nurse
Are four-fold codes of treating course.
