a_o short_a account_n of_o blurton-spaw-water_n with_o some_o plain_a direction_n and_o necessary_a rule_n for_o the_o more_o efficacious_a drink_v of_o it_o this_o paper_n be_v chief_o design_v for_o

the_o cenfure_n of_o the_o momy_n observe_v method_n the_o better_a to_o be_v understand_v i_o shall_v first_o tell_v you_o from_o what_o mineral_n as_o learned_a physician_n and_o other_o

there_o and_o by_o stand_v sometime_o in_o a_o glass_n a_o blevish_a skin_n appear_v on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o water_n and_o hence_o say_v sir_n john_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o i_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o this_o water_n have_v the_o same_o mineral_n as_o the_o common_a chalybeate_a water_n have_v but_o moreover_o there_o be_v this_o singular_a in_o this_o water_n from_o all_o other_o that_o be_v chalybeate_a that_o by_o spirit_n of_o hartshorn_n drop_v into_o it_o at_o litchfield_n and_o many_o other_o place_n it_o precipitate_v green_a cloud_n and_o sediment_n very_o pleasant_a to_o the_o beholder_n and_o not_o of_o a_o yellow_a other_o colour_n as_o other_o chalybeate_a water_n do_v neither_o will_v it_o turn_v green_a with_o syrup_n of_o violet_n as_o other_o chalybeate_a water_n use_v to_o do_v but_o give_v a_o green_a tincture_n to_o old_a rusty_a iron_n put_v into_o it_o by_o which_o experiment_n and_o also_o by_o its_o purge_v faculty_n it_o be_v believe_v that_o something_o of_o copper_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o pyrite_n or_o firestone_n which_o furnish_v the_o water_n with_o its_o strong_a chalybeate_a taste_n from_o the_o sulphur_n and_o iron_n ocher_n all_o pyrite_n contain_v upon_o these_o experiment_n it_o be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o water_n of_o quarne_n bromish_n pole_n worth_a or_o astrop_n nay_o some_o learned_a man_n at_o the_o well_o have_v affirm_v it_o strong_a than_o tunbridge_n and_o may_v be_v compare_v with_o scarborough_n spa_n which_o purge_v as_o this_o do_v and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o have_v great_a success_n than_o most_o other_o steel_n water_n in_o england_n second_o the_o objection_n be_v it_o be_v a_o coal_n pit-water_n drain_n dry_a through_o a_o slough_n or_o gutter_n some_o coal-pit_n as_o well_o as_o the_o iron_n stone_n pit_n on_o mere_a heath_n therefore_o unwholesome_a answ_n the_o same_o objection_n be_v make_v against_o the_o water_n of_o polsworth_n and_o bromich_n which_o be_v near_a coal-pit_n also_o and_o yet_o experience_n have_v prove_v they_o as_o say_v sir_n john_n in_o a_o late_a letter_n to_o i_o both_o to_o be_v useful_a and_o innocent_a it_o be_v the_o pyrite_n or_o firestone_n find_v in_o bed_n in_o get_v of_o coal_n or_o ironstone_n through_o which_o the_o water_n run_v give_v the_o chalybeate_a tincture_n to_o the_o water_n for_o if_o a_o little_a pyrite_n be_v put_v into_o a_o glass_n of_o fair_a water_n in_o a_o few_o minute_n as_o often_o as_o it_o have_v be_v try_v it_o give_v a_o steel_n taste_v to_o the_o water_n and_o by_o add_v gall_n to_o the_o same_o glass_n it_o turn_v of_o a_o deep_a purple_a in_o a_o small_a time_n moreover_o chalybeat_a spring_n lie_v shallow_a and_o be_v often_o spoil_v by_o dig_v into_o and_o therefore_o come_v not_o from_o the_o coal_n which_o lie_v deep_a and_o the_o firestone_n which_o give_v the_o chalybeat_a virtue_n lie_v very_o much_o above_o the_o coal_n as_o miner_n inform_v we_o furthermore_o neither_o ironstone_n nor_o coal_n can_v be_v dissolve_v in_o water_n the_o last_o be_v a_o sulphurous_a oily_a bitumen_n can_v mix_v with_o water_n no_o more_o than_o oil_n can_v and_o be_v no_o sulphurous_a stink_a smell_n be_v find_v in_o water_n it_o be_v plain_o evident_a it_o have_v no_o ill_a quality_n from_o the_o coal_n beside_o there_o be_v no_o such_o noxious_a quality_n in_o coal_n as_o the_o objector_n imagine_v as_o appear_v by_o warm_a drink_n with_o a_o red_a hot_a coal_n as_o many_o countryman_n use_v to_o do_v and_o other_o light_a their_o tobacco_n with_o it_o without_o prejudice_n and_o easy_o taste_v the_o sulphurous_a acid_n in_o it_o and_o believe_v its_o good_a for_o the_o lung_n and_o this_o sure_a be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v any_o timorous_a
