It is to be obferved, that an immoderate and 
unfeafonabie Ufe of Aromaticks, like this, dif- 
pofes the Stomach to Inflammation, flirivels its 
Fibres, and conftringes and fhuts up the Orifices 
of its Glands. Whence, from a Deficiency of the 
gaftrick Juice, with a fpafmodick and inflamma- 
tory Tenfion of the Stomach, a depraved Con- 
coction neceffarily follows ; the Food produces 
Labour and Anxiety in the Stomach, and is pro- 
pelled into the Inteflines with great Difficulty •, and 
this Mifchief at length is communicated over the 
whole Body to the Prejudice of all its Functions. 
Moreover, by Aromaticks too freely given the 
juices are rendered acrid, thick, and languid in 
their circulatory Motion, and fo the due Secretion 
of them being hindered, are brought on Obftruc- 
tions of the Liver, Kidneys and other Bowels ; or 
Inflammations, Cachexies, Atrophies, Dropfies, me-
