when it is drunk to Excefs, its Effects la ft 
longer; for its vifcous Parts prevent the hid- 
den DiffipatioQ of its Spirits ; befides, the 
Vifcidities are alfo difpcrfed in the Veflelsof 
the Brain, and fo fill up its fmall Tubes, as 
to obfcrufi: the brifk Motion of the nervous 
Juice, and lefien its Influx. The vifcous 
Parts being the lighteft, they will always lie 
next the Sides of the Channels, while the 
more fluid Parts keep the Axis, and there- 
fore the like Quantity of this Liquor will 
not invigorate fo much, or fo fpeedily as 
Wine. But then after a drunken Bout of 
Cyder, the fmall Veflfels require a longer 
Time to re-aflfume their Elafticity, to at- 
tenuate and fhake off the adhering Vifcidi- 
ties from their Infides; and becaufe the more 
vifcous Parts of the Liquor are neareft the 
Sides of the Veffels, the watery Parts next 
them, and the more fubtile Parts keep the 
Axis ; therefore Perfons drunk with Cyder, 
are more ftupid, fleepy, pale, and cold, 
than thofe that are intoxicated with more 
fpirituous Liquors, fuch as Wine, Brandy, 
Punch, &c, Thefe being more fpirituous, 
i. e. having a greater Quantity of attenuated 
eflential Oil and Salt in them, give a greater 
Stimulus to the Veflels, raife a brftker I ulfe.
