     و[لبن] الذي يُنزع زبده ويصفّى مائيته أيصًا حتّى يبقى منه الجزء الغليظ الجبني ففط وحمّض ويسمّى حينئذٍ الدُوغ، فهو يغذو البدن غذاءً صالحًا وينفع أصحاب المعد الحارّة وأصحاب الإسهال المرّي لا سيّما إن كان من لبن أغلظ إلا أنّ المعدة الباردة لا تهضمه. واللبن الحليب يحمّض ويتجبن أيضًا في مثل هذه المعدة، فينبغى أن يهجر أصحاب المعد الباردة اللبن وما يتّخذ منه ويحذروا منها أشدّ الحذر.

     And [milk] when one extracts its butter and one cleanses it from its fluidity until only only the fat cheesy part is left and which one acidifies is then called doogh, and it nourishes the body nutritionally well and helps people with hot stomachs and those with bitter diarrhoea especially if from even thicker milk, only the cold stomachs do not concoct it. Fresh milk, too, becomes acidified and coagulated in such a stomach, and it is desired that those with cold stomachs keep away from milk and what is made from it and beware of them warily.
