are afflicted with these Diseases upon not being satsfied with the former Method or being at too great a distance to take it accordingly either by procuring this duplicate Salt of the Spaw to dissolve it in some pure Spring Water as aforesaid with the addition of Salt of Steel and so to drink it according to the advise of their Physitians at home or else to dissolve the same Salt in some Vitrioline Water as that of Kuarsbrough Rotheram Olton c. and to drink as large quantities thereof as their Physitian by the indications of their Diseases shall advise Thus from what is premised the three Indications propounded by my candid Friend for the right improvement of the Water are readily and without much ado answered for first by a right management of the Waters according to our Method the suspitious petrifying property of the Scarbrough Waters may very probably be prevented yea and though already begun may as likely be carried off And secondly by the same process the Stone-pouder and faeces of the Alom may be hindred from fixing upon the Bowels and lastly to prevent in tender constitutions that the duplicated Salt corrode not the Entrals may easily be done either by our former Method or by diluting the essential Salt thereof in great plenty of fresh Spring Water or by dissolving it in Vitrioline Spaws as aforesaid An APPENDIX Concerning the Anatomy of the GERMAN Spaw-Water I Took about a quart of the Spaw-Water which is brought out of Germany and exposed to sale in Leiden Amsterdam and other Cities of the Low-Countries in Bottles sealed up into a little of which I put some Pouder of Galls with which it struck a pale Clarret colour the rest I ordered to be put into a Glass Retort with a clean Receiver close luted to it and gave an easie heat distilling off first about one ounce of Water then poured it sorth and found that it had neither taste smell nor any other properties that might distinguish it from ordinary Spring-Water distilled for with Galls it would make no more alteration then common distilled Water Then we distilled off about two or three ounces more of insipid Water after which I ordered the fire to be permitted to extinguish to try what kind of precipitate it would let fall because after the first ounce was come over slacking the fire we found that a little Sediment was fallen which was of a pale reddish colour and upon the second cooling more of the same fell down Then I caused that which remained in the Retort to be filtred and sav'd the Sediment in the Filter Paper which being dryed up was an insipid pale red Calx Then I tryed if the filtred Water after this precipitation would give any tincture with Galls as it did before separation but found it would not after which I poured it into the clean washed Retort and distilled again as before until all was come off except about one half ounce This I brought to London and evaporated in a clean Jar Glass in a gentle heat till it came to a dryness The colour of this Pouder was somewhat white and its taste was pleasantly sharp or piercing with a heat and warmth diffused upon the Tongue but had no Vitrioline taste to this pouring Oil of Sulphur per campanam it did make a manifest ebullition as if it had been poured upon so much Salt of Tartar but Oil of Tartar per deliquium did cause no effervescence at all by which it was evident that the Salt contained in this residence was rather lixivial then acid although in taste it scem'd to be neutral but to partake of both so that probably this Spring in its Original I mean where it is first impregnated with Mineral Juyces is hot but running further through a Colander of Earth or Sand loseth its heat and becomes at its eruption a cold Spring Observations on the dissection of a Woman who dyed of the Jaundice AND here that I may entertain the Reader with some little variety I shall end all with some Observations on the dissection of an antient Woman who dyed at the Hospital in Leyden of the Yellow Jaundice Her Skin before death as well as after was dyed the most deep Yellow that ever I saw in my life she consumed away in a Marasmus not withstanding all the means that could be used and it will be judged impossible that it should otherwise be after I have related what we observed in the dissection of her body Upon the opening of the Abdomen of this Cadaver perform'd by the Professor in the Theatre was first observ'd omitting the less considerable enormities a connexure or knitting together of the Pylorus and the under part of the left Lobe of the Liver close by the Vesica Bilaris by a hard schirrhous tumour for besides that the Stomach was somewhat larger then ordinary and the Spleen lay length wayes in a parallel line with the direct Muscles of the Abdomen being somewhat less then usual and although being cut its Patenchyma was found of a due consistence and not vitiated in substance I say besides these the Liver was found very stiff and hard with several schirrous tumours some lesser some bigger whose consistence was most-what glandulous one or two being as big as Wallnuts and some less but one near as large as a Man's Fist The Cystis Fellea was large and very 〈◊〉 which was found together with those in the 〈◊〉 Ductus near a hundred and twenty Stones so●●● like little Peas some larger but all of them most-what angular in colour some near bright and not much unlike the ordinary sort of Mother of Pearl others had dark spots intermingled and as it were marbled The Professor distributed to each of the Students who were present one of these Stones as a rarity The liquid part of the Gaul which was not yet petrified most of which was lodged in the Ductus Hepaticus was tenacious and mostwhat of the consistence of a Syrup The common Ductus which reacheth from the Cystis to the Duodenum was so much obstructed as the Professor could not without cutting the Vessel which leads from the Cystis further open make the Style pass from that part into the Intestine and that because the situation of the parts was altered and become different from the natural by reason of that strict connection of the Pylorus with the Liver Then opening the Thorax the Lungs were found scarce vitiated at all but the Heart was less by much then usual yea and that which was the wonder of the whole and which no Author that we know of has yet ever observed was to see a Schirrus upon the right Ventricle of the Heart True the Polypus Cordis has been frequently found in the dissection of Dutch Bodies by the sam'd Sylvius And I saw another Woman dissected there who dyed as was supposed of a Syncope in the right Ventricle of whose heart was found a Polypus several inches long from the Basis to the Cone thereof although it 's more probable she dyed of a complication of other Diseases for in the Abdomen was found a great quantity of a Serum together with plenty of a Pituita floating together in that cavity But that there should be a schirrous tumor upon the Heart is what we never heard of or at least never observed before As to the cause of the Jaundice in this Woman it was variously disputed some supposed that it proceeded onely from an obstruction of the Bile which thereby being mixed with the Blood was dispersed into the whole habit of the Body Others supposed that the Disease proceeded srom a volatility of the Bile which passing up by the Ductus Hepaticus was thence by the Vena Porta sent into the Mass of Blood and so vitiated the whole habit of the Body with that Saffron Dye But upon the dissection it should seem to be evident that the natural Crasis of the Bile was wholly perverted and that that which should have been useful in its due consistence not only as a Balsam to the Blood but also by its volatile Alkali to perform the gentle and natural fermentation in the Intestines together with the subacid ferment of the Pancreatical Juyce was in great part being vitiated in its constituent parts petrified which petrifaction as well in that as in other parts of the body do all most probably proceed from the same efficient causes and that not unlikely from a too great exaltation of the saline and sulphureous parts of the Bile coagulating themselves upon some terrestrial or tartarous matter which by continuance of time hath been precipitated to the bottom or sides of the Vesica Bilis From what is premised I would excite the Ingenious to further improvements that we may the better be capacitated to do good by a right understanding of the causes of things and that by propounding first that several Experiments may be essayed in order to the immitation of these Anomolous Products in Animals which do so often afflict the humane Body in several parts thereof for from a true apprehension of the essential Causes which concur in the Fabrick of these Animal Stony Concretions we may the better be informed how to prepare such Menstruums as may genuinely and without corrosion of other tender adjacent parts resolve such petrified Bodies FINIS
