- Dr. Voight proceeds; in the Epiftle, he animadverts 
upon Mr, KunJ^els Notion, t^/^. That faltsby Virtue of 
their y^n^i^j^, do preferve bodys from corruption. This 
he fays, is againft reafon and experience : for (alts arc 
endowed with a power Solvendi^ incidendi^ corrodendt^ dif- 
uniendi dividendi : the moft corrofive MenftruumSj as 
Aquafortis, Regis, 6cc. do juflify it. As alfo theconfti- 
tution of Vegetables, and Animals, both which do loon 
corrupt and difTolve, upon the account of their abound- 
ing with this faline principle. Nay fait it felf, cannot 
refiftthe moifture of the Air, being foon refolved in it. 
He inftances yet farther, in the common way of powder- 
ing or pickling flefh, declaring againft the ill quality of 
fait, for depriving flefh oi its proper and genuine taft, 
bringing ic to an Acorem, and corrupting inftead of con- 
ferving it; by making it unfit for nourilliment, in pro- 
ducing difeafes, 6cc. Afterthis manner does Vinegar, in 
ftead of conferving a body , deprive it of its good Juice 
and rehfh: on the contrary he knows, how to make a 
Balfamoffugar, which is an oyly body, that willeafily 
preferve bodys j and 'tis well known, th^t oy's ofTur^ 
pentine, of Myrrh, and fpirit of Wine, do beft conferve 
Cadavera. Moreover, he s fo far from allowing this ef- 
fect to his Acidum\ that he will much rather yield it to,
