inform'd that the inhabitants of IJla and Jura 

 (lill continue to brew a very potable liquor by- 

 mixing two thirds of the tops of hathcr to one- 

 third of malt. This is not the only refrefliment 

 that hather affords : the hardy Highlanders fre- 

 quently make their beds with it, laying the roots 

 downwards, and the tops upwards ^ which, tho' 

 not quite fo foft and luxurious as beds of down, 

 are altogether as refrelhing to thofe who fleep 

 OR them, and perhaps much more healthy.
