 its acidity, as from the diffolved OyfterfhelL 

 And what makes it farther probable is, that 

 the Vinegar lofcsits acidity in the ferment, 

 that is its Tartar : for ditfolving menftruums 

 are generally obferved to be changed in fer- 

 mentation, as well as the diffolved body. 



Have we not reafon alfo hence to con- 

 clude, that the energy of acid fpirits may in 

 fome meafure be owing to the ftrongly at- 

 tracting air particles in them § which a&ive 

 principles may give an impetus to the acid 

 fpiciilg, as well as the earthy oily matter, 

 which is found in thefe acid fpirits > 



There are we fee alfo great ftore of air 

 particles found in the Analyfis of the blood, 

 which arifes doubtelefsas well form the ferum 

 as from the eraff amentum, for all the animal 

 fluids and folids have air, and fulphur in
