2$6 A Treatise on 
Strajburg Turpentine has the fame Principles and 
much the fame Virtues as the Venice *, though as it 
is of a more acrid and bitter Tafte, and thinner 
Confiftence, C. Hoffman is of Opinion that it con- 
fifts of fomewhat finer Parts, and on that Account 
prefers it to Venice Turpentine for deterging inward

is alfo more heating, and ought therefore to be ufed 
with greater Caution.

pentine is thicker and heavier than either Straff-

ouzes out of the Cones, and is therefore called Re~

being that which runs from an Incifion made in the 
Trunk. 
This Turpentine is feldom ufed in Phyflck, though 
its Virtues are much the fame as of the others •, but 
it is many other Ways ufeful in Life, as it ferves 
for different Purpofes in Trade. From this alfo are 
made the common Sorts of Refin, Pitch, Tar, &V, 
Thefe are : 
1. Refina Candida , or Thus album , white Refin 
(vulgarly Rofin) or white Frankincenfe. This is
