but Rum not only ftimulates by its Salts, 
but lubricates by its more and groffer Oil, 
and thereby expands and dilates the renal 
lateral VelTels ; whereby not only the thin-

Brandy promotes Perfpiration in a gouty 
Habit, and forces off Part of the Salts by 
Urine, as it, at the fame time, carries much 
effential vegetable Salt into the Blood ; but 
Rum foftens and dilates the Veffels more ;

of the Veffels gives Nature an Opportunity 
to pour in thinner Fluids upon thefe gritty 
Lodgments and (harp Matter, whereby they
