give a ftronger and fuller Tinéfure to Water, than to Spirit of Wines 
as in the Tinéiures of Comflip, Poppss, Clove-July-Flomers and Rojec, 
made both in Water and Spirit of Wine, and compared together, is 
eafily fen. So that for Tinéfures made with Flowers,whether for Me- 
dicines,or other purpofes, Water, with refpe& tothe Colour, is the better
