Salts gives a Stimulus to the Veflels, and 
adds a Momentum to the Blood, whofe Cir- 
culation is raifed by a moderate Ufe of this 
Liquor. And all thefe Virtues may be 
more exalted, by impregnating the Liquor 
with fome fpecifick Vegetables for that Pur- 
pofe added to the Hops, as Tops of Broom, 
Leder Gentry, Trefoil, Dandelion and Car- 
duus. Any one of thefe will be of Service, 
and help to promote thefe great and valua- 
ble Intentions. 
6. We difcover how Hops are Angularly 
ufeful in clearing and keeping of Ale ; for 
they fubtilizing, and making it more fpiri- 
tuous, aftive, and rigid, by feparating its 
cohefive and vifcid Parts, they are reduced 
to a kind of penetrating, volatile Spirit, 
which exifts in fmaller Particles, more uni- 
verfallyin the Liquor; whereby A ttradions 
are prevented, and their Difpofition to 
render the Beer vapid, acid, or four, is hin- 
dered. 
7. Hence we may learn the Reafon why 
foft Ale, with little or no Hops, if not 
brewed too ftrong, nor drunk too freely, is 
fo advantageous to fuch Perfons as have a 
lean ftrong Body, a large quick Pulfe, con- 
traded Veffels, brifk Circulation, thick, 
fharp.
