Therefore to prevent thefe Dangers, it is 
neceflary that the Malt Liquor drunk in hot 
Weather be only a middle Beer, ripe, tran- 
fparent, and pungent, neither vapid nor 
four, nor thick and mufty 3 drunk efpeci- 
ally towards the Evening, that it may revive 
the Spirits, and at the fame Time nourifli 
the Body. When the Stomach is not able 
to digeft a neceflary Quantity of Meat, this 
quickly makes up the preceeding Days 
Lofs. But great Care fhould be taken in 
the Ufe of Strong Beer 3 for the ftronger, 
the more vifcid it is, and the greater Load 
it lays upon the Veflels, and difpofes to 
fome Iilnefs. And as Excefs ought refo- 
lutely to be avoided at ail Times, fo more 
efpecially in a hot Seafon. For befides all 
ill Confequences of an inflammatory Na- 
ture, it throws the Blood into fuch a State 
of Vifcidity, as renders Dilution aim oft im- 
practicable. And at the fame time the 
Nerves are doubly relaxed. Hard Labour-
