A39600	The supplement to a small treatise called Salt-water sweetned shewing the great advantages both by sea and land, of sea-water made fresh. Together with the Honourable Mr. Boyle's letter, and the approbation of the Colledge of Physicians, of the wholsomness of this water. And also the conditions on which the patentees and others concern'd, do intend to contract with such as shall please to deal with them for the use of his invention.	Fitzgerald, R. (Robert); Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.	1684 (1684)	Wing F1090; ESTC R224135	11,380	36

drink_v here_o in_o london_n of_o which_o i_o remember_v i_o show_v those_o gentleman_n a_o experiment_n that_o surprise_v as_o well_o as_o convince_v they_o and_o that_o which_o more_o satisfy_v i_o
