The Virtues of Whisky
extract from Rapael Hollinshed Chronicles 1577
He distinquisheth three sortes thereof, Simplex, Composita, Perfectissima
Beying moderately taken, sayeth he, it cutteth fleume, it abandoneth melencholie, it relisheth the haste, it lighteneth the mynd, it quickeneth the spirits, it cureth the hydropsie, it healeth the stranguary, it pounceth the stone, it repelleth the gravel, it puffeth away ventositie, it kepyth and perserveth the hed from whirling, the eyes from dazelying, the tongue from lisping, the mouthe from snafflying, the teeth from chatterying, the throte from rattlying, the weasan from stieflying, the stomach from womblying, the harte from swellying, the bellie from wirtching, the guts from rumblying, the hands from shiverying, the sinews from shrinkying, the veynes from crumplying the bones from akying, the marrow from soakying,
And truly it is a soveraign liquor if it be orderlie taked
I liketh is
