waters be better prepared for time to 

 come, either in common stills, putting 

 good store of ashes underneath, the root* 

 and herbs being dryer, &c. or if they be 

 full of Juice, by distilling the juice in a 

 convenient bath, that so burning may be 

 avoided, which hitherto hath seldom 

 been. But let the other Herbs, Flowers, 

 or Roots, be bruised, and by adding 

 Tartar, common salt, or leven be 

 digested, then putting spring water to 

 them, distil them in an Alembick with 

 its refrigeratory, or Worm, till the 

 change of the taste shevr the virtue to bt 

 drawn off; then let the oil (if any) be 

 separated from the wattt according to 

 art. 

 Into the number of these \taters may be 



Lobsters, Cockles, or Snails, Hartshorn, ascribed.
