ART. IV. 3. i. SORBENTIA. 63 



One of thefe patients died of the apoplexy in a few hours ; 

 and the other of inflammation of the liver, which I believe 

 was called the gout, and in confequence was nor treated by ven- 

 cfeclion, and other evacuations. Hence it appears, that the 

 daily ufe of hop in our malt liquor muft add to the noxious qual- 

 ity of the fpirit in it, when taken to excefs, and contribute to 

 the production of apoplexy, or inflammation of the liver.
