However, in a febrile Effervefcence we ought 
to be cautious of ufing Balfams internally •, becaufe 
they raife an inflammatory Heat in the Blood : 
Whence by giving them improperly, or too long, 
of in too large a Dofe, a Fever is excited, and He- 
morrhages, Head- Aches, Palpitations of the Heart, 
and Inflammations of the Bowels fucceed. They 
likewife often occafion Lofs of Appetite, and bad 
Digeftion ; forafmuch as by their refmous Particles 
they render the Ferment of the Stomach inert. 
Wherefore they ought to be given at a good Diftance 
from Meals, and in moderate Dofes.
