from Sax.Poma,Potio,Potus Beverage. (F.) Boisson. Every liquid introduced into the alimentary canal for the purpose of repairing the loss of the fluid parts of the body. The necessity for its use is indicated by the sensation of thirst. Fluid, taken during meal, aids in the digestion of the food. Some drinks are exciting and tonic, as the different varieties of beer, wine, and spirits, which we use at table. In therapeutical point of view, drinks are used to appease the thirst which prevails in febrile affections, or to act as diluents in those and other cases. The ordinary drinks, according to their chemical composition, are -1. Water, spring water, river water, well water, &c. -2. Juices and infusions of Animal and Vegetable substances, lemon juice, currant juice, whey, tea, coffee, mattee, &c, -3.
