A Treatise on the inherent qualities of the tea-herb [electronic resource] : Being an account of the natural virtues of the bohea, green, and imperial teas. Collected from Mss. of learned and skilfull physicians on that subject. Particularly from a Latin Ms. entitul'd de potu the,̆ wrote by the famous J.N. Pechlinus, principal physician to the Late King of Denmark, celebrated amongst the learned of his faculty, throughout Europe, for being as ingenious and judicious a piece as this age has produced. Wherein is clearly demonstrated, that this delicious nectar has all the good effects of wine without any of the ill; a liquor that warms without inflammation, and exhilirates without intoxicating; and if drank according to the directions which will be given, is preferable to all mineral waters whatever, as being an unspeakable benefit in most chronical diseases: a discovery well worth the knowledge of this nation; it being particularly efficacious in that almost epedemical distemper the scurvy, which reigns so much in this Kingdom. Compiled by a Gentleman of Cambridge.
