Spirits. Let the Flowers (land in infufioa 

 eight days, or lefs if ftraitened for time ; 

 then diflil off the Spirit,, in a water-bath 

 with a brifk fire, at firft in large drops 

 or even a fmall ftream, that the EfTential 

 Oil of the Flowers may rife with the 

 Spirit. But as this cannot be done without 

 the phlegm coming over the helm at the 

 fame time, the Spirit mull be rectified. 

 The firft diftillation being finifhed, unlute 

 the ftill, throw away what remains in the 

 Body, and fill it with frefh Flowers of 

 Lavender, in the proportion of two pounds 

 of Lavender Flowers to one pint of 

 Spirit; pour the Spirit already diftilled 

 according to the foregoing directions, on 

 the Lavender Flowers, and diftii a fecond 

 time in a vapour-bath.
