Fieri autem hoc naturaliter ideo videtur, quod acer et acidus sucus subest in ea terra, per quam egredientes venae intinguntur acritudine, et ita, cum in corpus inierunt, dissipant quae ex aquarum subsidentia in corporibus et concrescentia offenderunt.
This seems to happen by nature, because a sharp and acid juice is present in the soil, and when currents of water pass out of it, they are tinctured with acridity. Hence when they enter the body, they disperse what they meet as the water settles and solidifies in the body.
