In which is fhewed, the Compleat or Utmoft Impregnation 
of WATER with feveral kinds of Salt, both together, 
and apart. 
KWON difcourfe upon a Led/ure formerly read, concerning 
the Lixivial Salts of Plants ; It was mentioned, asa 
thing aflerted by fome Phylofophers, That Water 
having been fully impregnated with one kind of 
Salt, fo as to bear no more of that kind; it would 
y yet bear, ordiflolve fome portion of anothers and 
fo ofathird. And it was referred to Me by this 
Honourable Chair,to examine and produce the Experiment. The doing 
whereof brought into my mind divers other Experiments hereunto re- 
atin 
aar As next, With what difference of quantity this Superim- 
pregnation would be made, upon the Solution of different Salts? 
3. $. Thirdly, Whether the Solution of a fmaller quantity of fe 
ral Salts, doth confift with the non-increafe of the bulk of the Water ? 
Becaufe this alfo is affirmed by fome.
