Ir thefe fuggeftions are admitted, they will affift us in 
determining when and to whom the ufe of Tea is falutary, and 
to whom it may be deemed injurious. - Thofe, for inftance, 
who either from a natural propenfity to generate a rich inflam-— 
matory blood, or from exercife, or diet, or climate, or all to- © 
gether, are difpofed to be in this fituation: to thefe the ufe of 
Tea would feem rather beneficial, by relaxing the too rigid 
folids, and diluting the coagulable lymph of the blood, as a very 
fenfible and ingenious author very juftly fiyles it *. | 
There are idiofyncrafes, certain particularities, which are 
objections to general rules. There are, for inftance, men of 
this temperament, ftrong, healthy, vigorous, and. with not only 
the appearance, but the requifites of firm health, to: whom a. 
few difhes of Tea would produce the agitations familiar to an: 
hyfteric woman ; but this is by no means general: in common 3 
they bear it well, it refrefhes them, they endure fatigue after — 
it, as well as after the moft fubftantial viands. Nothing re- 
frefhes them more than Tea, after lafting and vehement exer--— 
cife. To fuch it is undoubtedly wholefome, and equal at leaft,. 
if not preferable, to any other kind of regale now in ule.
