Irish Brandy Use Warns of Fatal Overindulgence
Reports from Dublin describe Irish gentlemen noting a taste for brandy that enlivens without danger in small amounts but proves deadly in excess as a rich cordial for some women. Experiments on dogs and humans showed convulsions and intensified blood flow after death. Additional notices record ship sailors, court audiences, insolvent debtor notices, and a desertion from General Dormer's Regiment in Dublin.
