The best way to make the Spirit of Urine is thus:

LET the Urine stand eight or ten days, in which time it will putrifie and fer∣ment; then distill very gently, and that which cometh first is the Spirit. When it beginneth to come weak and insipid (which you will know by tasting a drop) then cease, for all that is good is come over. Thus you shall have near half your quantity of Urine in good Spirit.
