14. §. Cantharides make no vifible Bullition with Oy! of Vitriol. 
But with Spirit of Nitre they do tit buff up vather abbas te 
chinele. Yet is this done very flowly, and comparatively with niany other 
bodies, is not much. Hence it is not the quantity, but the quality 
of their volatile Salt, which makes them fo ftrong.an Epifpajtick. 
For moft of thofe Bodies above , and hereafter named, make a 
greater Bullition, and yet are neither Can/tick nor Epifpaftick in the 
leaft. It is hence alfo evident , as hath been before fuggelted, That 
there are divers kinds of Volatile Salts, eminently different 5 fone 
being highly a/haline, others very little, and {ome fcarce any thing 
fo: fach as thofe of Scurvy-grafs, Anemone, Crowfoot, and many the 
like Plants; to whofe Salt, this of Cantharides {eemeth to be very 
near of kin. 
15. §. Millepedes make a Bullition and huff, much greater and quicker, 
than any of the Infects above-named: and that both with Spirit of Nitre, 
and Oyl of Vitviol it felf. Tet is this Infecl of a very temperate nature. 
Whereby is further demonftrated, That the being fimply alkaline, is not 
enough to make a body to be Gauftick, 
16. §. Again, alikhough Millepedes make a Bullition, greater thaz ay 
of the TnfeGs above named: yet is it much lefs, than that of Oy/ter,Suail, 
or even Egg-fhells 5 and of divers other bodies above, dud hereafter men- 
tioned. Hence, being given to the fame intent, as any of thole bodies 5 
it is the mildeft and gentleft in its operation of them all. 
17. §. Millepedes likewife calcined, makes a ftronger Effervefcence, 
than when uncalcined, as do the Oyfter-fells, Gc. So that it appears, 
That all Teflaceows Salts, are at \eaft in part, pexed Salts. 
18. §. Lnext proceed to Bones. And firft Whale-bone maketh no 
Bullition at all with any acid. A Cartilage, mith Spirit of Nitre, zakes 
fome very fisall bubbles, not to be feen without a Glafs. 
19. §. The Bone ia the Throat of a Carp, makes a little and flow Bul- 
lition with Spirit of Nitre. The Spina of a Fifh ( that which Lufed was of 
aCod-fih) maketh a Bullition one degree higher. 
20. §. All forts of Teeth, as Dogs, Boars, the Sea-horfé, Elephant, 
make the like. As alfo the Bone of an Oxes heart. So that all thefe are 
very gentle in their operation, and fit for Children. 
a1, §. Sheeps and Calves Bones both of them make a Bullition yet a 
little higher, efpecially with Spirit of Nitre. Cocks Bones fomerbat higher 
than the former. Craninm humanum a little higher than all the reft. 
22, §. Bones likewife, being calcined, make a Bullition with Acids. 
And fo doth alfo calcined Harts-Horn. But in neither of them, is the Bul- 
lition advanced by Calcination, any thing comparable to what it is in fhells. 
Whence it appears, That the Salt of Horns and Bowes, is much more 
volatile, than that of shells. 
23. §. Next for Fleh and the feveral Vifcera. And fif, dryed 
and powdered Mutton, with Oil of Vitriol, ftirs not at all. But with 
Spirit of Nitre makes a fizall Bullition and buff Sheeps Heart doth the 
like fomewhat more apparently. Vipers flefh produceth a froth, but buffs 
not, Powdered Earthsworms make a great froth, and huff a little. Pow- 
dered Tripe makes only a little Bullition. Lamb-ftones do the like. Kid- 
ney, Spleen, and Liver, with fome elevation. Lungs, with bubbles very 
large; becanfe extraordinary flowly. Diyed Brain makes alfo a Ba
