till_o a_o three_o part_n be_v waste_v afterward_o let_v it_o settle_v well_o for_o three_o day_n space_n for_o separate_v its_o faeces_fw-la then_o take_v a_o gross_a thick_a cloth_n fit_a for_o

remain_v which_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o sun_n you_o may_v thence_o discover_v the_o mixture_n of_o the_o mineral_n ii_o the_o second_o way_n of_o judge_a mineral_n mixture_n in_o spa_n water_n be_v
