This brine, therefore, contains 700 grains of dry chloride of sodium 
in a wine pint; 5600 grains, or 0.80 lb. in a gallon; and it requires 
nearly seventy gallons for a bushel of salt. The strength of the Ged- 
des brine when compared to this, is about as ten to seven, — of the Li- 
verpool brine, as ten to six and a half.
