MUM is a brave Balsamick Li∣quor, very wholsome for Me∣lancholy Phlegmatick Complexion'd Peo∣ple, if they observe the Rules of Tem∣perance, viz. To drink it sparingly, as also for those whose Food is dry, hard and lean, as course Bread, ordina∣ry Cheese, Flower'd Milk, Herbs, and lean Pot••ages. But this sort of Drink
〈◊〉〈◊〉 another Species or Property, viz. It is of an hot strong Nature; It dulls the Appetite, sends fumes into the Head, and is nothing so good, healthy and wholsome as clear well brew'd Ale; for being much being much boyled with the Mar∣tial Ingredients, they do not only suffo∣cate, evaporate and destroy the pure thin su••tle spirituous parts, but it there∣by becomes of a thick gross tough sub∣stance, and consequently harder of Concoction, so that the Natural heat cannot so easily separate and digest it, as other clearer finer Drinks, as Ale, Cyder, Wine and Water, and the like: For this cause, it is not good for such as live at ease, and eat fat rich com∣pounded strong Food; for it naturally heats the Blood, and makes it thick, ge∣nerates heavy dull Spirits, whence pro∣ceeds hot unpleasant Dispositions; for it being unequal begets the like Inequality, both in Body and Spirits, so that the common use of it lays Foundations for Diseases, more especially in Cholerick and Sanguine Complexions, and all Chil∣dren and Young People.
