Of Drinbj in General. 
refembling Whey 5 and at the firft drawing 
is fweet and plealant like Wine. This Li¬ 
quor boiled they call Terry , and will keep 
fome time, but if unboiled, fuddenly turns 
into very good Vinegar. This Wine in¬ 
toxicates the Brain, and inebriates as other 
Liquors do: if diftilled, it makes Strong- 
water $ if Raifons of the Sun are infufed 
in it, with fome other the like Ingredients, 
it meliorateth the lame exceedingly. Out 
of one Tree, two Gallons of this Liquor 
may be drawn in a day, without any da¬ 
mage to the Tree: Yet fome have report¬ 
ed, that it hinders the ripening of the Fruit, 
and that you mull: expert no Fruit from the 
Tree out of which you thus extra# its 
blood, which may be fuppofed to happen, 
when too much is drawn, or in too dry or 
late a Sealbn. 
In the Moluccas they extra# Wine out 
of another Tree, there called Landau. 
In the Caribbe Ijlands is a prickly or 
thorny Palm, out of which is alio extracted 
a Wine, after the lame manner as before. 
So alio out of the Birch-tree may be ex¬ 
tracted a plealant Liquor, which being ne- 
ceflary and uleful, and to be obtained in 
this Climate, the manner of drawing and 
orderingit you lhall find in the Sequel of 
this Difcourle. C 2 SECT.
