a I was induced to profecute my enquiries farther. 
--. To this end I diftilled half a pound of the beft and 
aol fragrant green Tea with fimple water’, and drew off an 
ounce of very odorous and pellucid water, free from oil, and 
which on trial (Section I, Experiment HI.) thewed no figns 
of a gee 
. That part of the liquor which remained after diftillation, — 
was 2 ae to the confiftence of an extract; it was flightly 
odorous, but had a very bitter, ftyptic, or aftringent _ tafte.

EXPERIMENT Mf. 
a. Into the cavity of the abdomen, and cellular cuties of a 
frog, about three drachms of the diftilled odorous water 
(No. ¥.) were injected.

tion than my experiment afforded, or what Neumana relates from his.
