    • 1819, The London Medical and Physical Journal, page 201:
      It often happens that a person who knows very well how to milk cannot get milk from certain cows. Some are delicate in this respect, others are trickish: the former can only give their milk to certain persons; the latter will only do so to those that excite them in a certain manner.
