which they afterwards boil till it becomes like Cry- 
ftal. By exprefs Mandates of the Emperor, no- one 
can fell that Folil Salt, neither can the Hungarians 
employ it for their own Ufe, much lefs drive any 
Trade in it, but they boil it all, and export it into fo-

They find here alfo a Sort of Cryflalized Salt, like 
to the Cruft flicking to the Pipes of Wood : The Mi-

But that which is moft curious and remarkable in

Temperature of the Seafons, which in thofe Parts is 
very wholefome, and without any thing noxious.
