A treatise on foreign teas Abstracted from an ingenious work, lately published, entitled An essay on the nerves

"A Treatise on Foreign Teas" by Hugh Smith is a scholarly work from the 1700s that questions the wisdom of drinking teas from other countries. Smith looks closely at teas from China and India, suggesting they can be bad for people's health, especially their nerves. The book isn't just about pointing fingers; it's about finding better options, promoting a different kind of tea created by Dr. Solander as a healthy substitute. Smith starts by saying we should think twice about foreign teas, saying they aren't good for us and might even make us sick, and then explains how these popular drinks can hurt our bodies.
