By drinking tea alono tho coating of '.he stomach Is mado leathery. But when milk, which contains albumen, Is added tho molecules of tannic acid select their affinity of albumen from It, and, as a dlvorco is unknown to tannato of albumen, tho lining of tho stomach Is less liable to bo affected by tho tannic acid than It would bo If tho tea wore taken alono." |
