In the Adiaphorous mixture to a Couple of Ounces of Salt of Tartar and as much volatile Salt mingled together we imployd about seven ounces and about an halfe to satiate them seemingly in the Cold.

An ounce of the volatile Salt of Sal armoniac did take of the Spirit of Verdigreece to dissolve it {ounce} iiii -- {drachm} iii -- 44 graines.
