137 Butaer.--The Quail, Perdix Olivacea, (Buch.) Its flesh is cool,
and promotes appetite; is beneficial in fever, and corrects the three
principal secretions. Some have said, that this is a name for Tihoo;
it resembles the partridge, but is only about half the size. In my
opinion, it is cool and hot in equal degrees; it forms a desirable
food for the sick, or emaciated; it strengthens the stomach, and
produces costiveness.
