dram of each, gathereth a great heat at the first, and 

 darkeneth the gold, and maketh a thick yellow. 



Spirit of wine and oil of vitriol, a dram of each, 

 hardly mingle ; the oil of vitriol going to the bottom, 

 and the spirit of wine lying above in a milky sub 

 stance. It gathereth also a great heat, and a sweet 

 ness in the taste. 



Oil of vitriol and dissolution of quicksilver, a 

 dram of each, maketh an extreme strife, and casteth 

 up a very gross fume, and after casteth down a white 

 kind of curds, or sands ; and on the top a slimish 

 substance, and gathereth a great heat. 



Oil of sulphur and oil of cloves commixed, a 

 dram of each, turn into a thick and red-coloured 

 substance ; but no such heat as appeared in the 

 commixture with the oil of vitriol. 



Oil of petroleum and spirit of wine, a dram of 

 each, intermingle otherwise than by agitation, as 

 wine and water do ; and the petroleum remaineth 

 on the top. 



Oil of vitriol and petroleum, a dram of each, 

 turn into a mouldy substance, and gathereth some 

 warmth ; there residing a black cloud in the bottom, 

 and a monstrous thick oil on the top. 



Spirit of wine and red-wine vinegar, one ounce 

 of each, at the first fall, one of them remaineth 

 above, but by agitation they mingle. 



Oil of vitriol and oil of almonds, one ounce of each, 

 mingle not ; but the oil of almonds remaineth above. 

 Spirit of wine and vinegar, an ounce of each, 

 commixed, do mingle, without any apparent sepa 

 ration, which might be in respect of the colour.
