The refidue of the evaporated Water put upon the burning 
Coals^ has not caft any Smoak^ neither has made any Detona- 
tion; the Spirit of Nitre pour'd upon it, has very much fer- 
mented ; the Spirit of Wine has not extra<5ted any Tindure 
from that refidue. 
One may conclude by all thofe Experiments, that this Wa- 
ter has not any Acidity, it participates not of Vitriol nor of 
Alum ; and there is in it but a little Quantity of the white 
Earthj and lefs alfo of Salt very like Sea-Salt. 
They are the parts of Earth and Salr,which fhew themfelves 
in the Mixture of the Lime- Water, &c, of fixed or volatile 
Alcalis. 
They are the fame parts which begin that light Fermenta- 
tion in the Mixture of Acid Spirits ; but that Fermentation is 
imperfed bccaufeof the little Quantity of the Earth, which is 
dro v^ned in fo great a Quantity of Liquor ; in efFe<5fc when the 
Water is evaporated, the Acid Spirits do ferment very much 
with the refidue. 
It appears by the Smell of that Water, that it contains a 
Sulphur very fubtle, which diflSpates its (elf very eafily, and 
which is not fenfible in the Experiments. 'Tis neverthelefs to 
be attributed to that Sulphur, the principal Effeds which they 
do attribute to that Mineral Water, as of helping in the Palfy, 
&c, in other forts of Diftempers where the nervous Gender is 
attacked, in Short-breath, and in all Affedionsof the Lungs 5 
and of remedying many other Infirmities which are caufed 
by the (harp Ferments, the which aie fweetned by <hat Wa- 
ter. For the other Properties of it, as of purging, of taking 
away Obftrui^ions, of tempering the hot Inirals, &c. it 
may have the fame Effeds with common Watei* being 
drunk abundantly. 
One may drink many GlalTes of this Water beginning by 
Four, Six or Eight every Morning, and augmenting till 
Twelve, Eighteen, Twenty or more, according as the Sto- 
mach is able to (upport it.This Water palTes readily by Urine, 
and many Perfons are purg'd by it. Sometimes one may mix 
with it fome Diuretick Salt, to make it pafs more freely, 
and for rendering it more de-obftru<9:ive. At other 
times one may put fome Manna or other things for 
making ic more purgative. One may waJh al/b in the Mud 
of that Fountain, according to neceffity.
