tine phite Salt oj Tartar from the Caput Mortu- 
um, left after the Difdilling of the Spirit and Oil 
of Tartar , at SeS. LVII. and LVIII. aforegoing, 
icb'uth mix with the Jaid F/egm , Spirit and Oil : 
digejt in Balneo, in a clofe V't’Jfel, till the Salt is 
dtjjolved ^ then make balls thereof with dry Clay, 
and diftil them by Retort , in a naked Fire-, and all 
the Salt will come over with the Spirit and Oil , 
perfcHly united to the Spirit from which feparate 
the Ext id Oil according to Art. It has all the Vir- 
tues of the former Spirit ot Tartar (at Seft. LVII. 
above,) exalted, and therefore is much more pow- 
erful, but may be given in the fame Dofe, and 
after the fame manner. 
LXX- Diateffaron ; Punch , or a Mixture of 
four things. Take choice Brandy , fair Water , of 
each a Stuart ■ pure Lime Juice a Pint -, Double 
Ref nd Sugar a Pound-, mix altogether, and f ir 
the Mixture till the Sugar is all diffolved. For a 
Conclufion to the Fruit of the Vine, or the Juice 
of the Grape, we thought it fitting to add this 
wonderful Reviving Cordial, this Charming Liquor 
of Confolation, which gives relief to the Miferable, 
removes Grief, chears the Sorrowful, elevates the 
Deieffed, gives admirjble fatisfafluon to the 
Difcontented, and a plenary Releafe to the Slave, 
of what Kindled or Nation fo ever -, malting every 
one feem happy to himfelf, who has the free 
Liberty of drinking it plentifully, and oft as he 
thinks it convenient, ft truly chears the Heart, 
revives the Spirits, Itrengthens Llniverfal Nature, 
and makes the Patient Pleafant and Sprightly, if 
moderately taken. I know it to be a true Refto- 
rative, and to have Cured fuch as have been in 
deep Conlumptions, by drinking it every Day for 
about ;, 6 , or 7 Months together, half a Pint 
every Morning faffing, eating with it a White 
Ship Bisket, toafted, and foaked in the fame ; 
half a Pint half an Hour before Dinner ; half a 
Pint about 5 in the Afternoon, and half a Pint at 
going to Bed. This Quantity may do well enough 
tor Men, but the Female Sex, may (if they pleaie) 
a little diminifh the Dofe, as their Reafon and 
Experience fhall direct them.

III. The firft, or fingle Garden Violet, fpreads 
its Root in the Ground both deep and wide , taking 
firong hold thereof. Prom whence come forth ma- 
ny Branches of round green Leaves , finely fnipt 
or dented about the edges , growing upon feveral 
j mall Footfialks , fet at divers places of the many 
creeping Branches , which cm they run , do here and 
there take Root in the Ground, bearing thereon 
many Flowers, fever ally at the Joints with the 
Leaves, which confifi of Jive final l Leaves , with a 
fhort round Tail, heel or Spur behind, of a per 
Violet Garden Purple. 
fell blew purple color, and of a very fragrant fweet 
Smell : After which, come forth round Seed Ve fi- 
fe Is, fianding likewtfe upon their j. mall Footfialks, 
in which is contained round white Seed : but thefe 
Heads rife not from the footfialks on which the 
blowers grew (as is ufual in all other Plants') but 
apart by themf elves •, and being Sown, will produce 
others like unto it felfi whereby there may be made 
a more fpeedy increafe to Plant a Garden , than by 
Slipping , as is the ufual manner. Of this kind, 
there is a fort which bears white fingle $ lowers , 
not differing in Smell or any thing efe. And ano- 
ther fort which bears a dead, or fad reddifh color'd 
flower, with a weaker Smell, but in all other par- 
ticulars alike. 
IV. The fecond, or Double March Violet 
There is no difference between this kind and the 
former, but in the Duplicity of the flowers, which 
have fo many Leaves fet and thrufi together, that 
they are like unto hard Buttons. Of this Double 
kind , there are both Purple and White, as in the 
Single, but the White fort is feldom Jo thick and 
Double as the Purple. 
V. The third, or common Wild Violet. This 
is altogether like the firft fingle Garden Violet, but 
that its Leaves are fewer in number , fomewhal 
thinner, and a little longer, or not fully fo round . 
The blowers are alfo larger, and of a very pale 
Purplifh blew color, near unto a Watcher, fame oj
