618. CONCERNING THE STENCH OF INTEMPERANCE One evening when I had taken much milk and bread, more than the spirits deemed was good for me, they then held their senses upon intemperance with which they charged me. Hence there was in my nostrils the odor of human excrement from the dry foods, and a foul urinous odor from the liquids, which clung there; and it was said that this happened to me because they held their senses upon such intemperance. They said that they were not sensible of any like stench. 1748, Jan. 30 and Feb. 1.
