It is a fact not easily explained that the stomach is frequently outraged by a wine to which it has not been accustomed; and it is equally true that a mixture of different wines is a common source of indigestion. The custom of mixing wine with water has its advantages as well as its evils. By dilution it frequently proves too little stimulant to the stomach, and runs into a state of quiescence. An invalid is also thus liable to deceive himself by taking more wine than may be consistent with his welfare. Much, however, depends upon the quality of the wine taken ; the lighter wines cannot require dilution, while port is certainly rendered less injurious by the admixture.
