There remain (cver^l. other Ej^pcriments to he made, 
jn order to a further Search! ^to, the. Excellencies, of 
this noble Water, bvjt’ this I cannot do at prelent for 
want of a Quantity, which I hope to obtain the next 
Sunsmers for they can with more Eafe be brought into 
EngUnd than the S^arv, 1 may allb fairly conclude, 
that lince the has been very beneficial to our 
Patients in Chronical Dileafes, thefe Waters of a 
much fuperior Virtue will lurpafs them in conquering

Sorm Additions to the aforefatd Account of the 
Pyrmont Waters . 
H aving had lately fome Dilcourfe about a 
Purging Quality contained in thefe Waters, I 
am now inquiring into the Truth of this Quellion, 
whether they in Reality do contain any Purging In» 
gredients or Properties. 
I evaporated about a Quart of this Water ad ficcita- 
im\ I then poured on the reliquU fome Rain-Water, 
•enough to dilTolve and take up the Salts, and exhal’d 
that Water, and had a Grane or two of the Salts, that 
tailed murhtic, fuch as moll River and Pump Waters 
give. It is well known that the Purging Waters have 
a very bitter Talle, and by the moll learned Dodor 
Qrm fU MemorU, and an illullrious Fellow of this 
Society, that Salt was called Sal Catharticum amarum, 
which dillinguilh’d it from all other Species of natu- 
ral Salts: that of the Pyrmont Water abovementioned 
has no Relation to this, but to the Sea- Salt, not being 
in the kaR bitter.
