 have im?gincd, that in certain cafes it might be dangerous, 

 but unlelt when drank in very large quantity, or when the 

 bodv is very watm. Dr. Cullen fays, that he has not per- 

 ceived its bad eftcds -, and in the laft cafe, it is probable that 

 cold water would have been equally injurious. With rcfpeft 

 to the acid of butter milk, or other acid ftates of the watery 

 part of milk, it is worth obferving^ that fuch acid dots 

 not increafe the acefccncy of the ftomach, or occafion the 

 flatulency that recent vegetable acids and acefcents com- 

 monly do ; and therefore it is more fafcly than thefe em-
