(1701) Tea and Coffee .Now that the Drinking of Tea & Coffee is prejudiciall to the Teeth , I can ' t believe by any means , & it does not at all appear by the Tooth you sent which is as good as a young man ' s of 25 ; & if the Warmth of Tea & Coffee be hurtfull at all , it would be most Hurtfull to the Lips which are first affected with it .I have severall times scalded my under Lip with Drinking hot Tea that it fetcht the Skin off , but never found any farther Prejudice ; in short our blood is a friend to Warmth but an Enemy to Cold .
