IF 5 Ounces of Brimstone and Sal Armoniack, be distill'd in a Retort with 6 Ounces of Quick-Lime, in a Sand-Heat gradually increas'd, a volatile Tincture of Sulphur will be obtain'd, which is red, tho' none of the Ingredients were so; yet if agitated when the Vessel it's contain∣ed
in is unstopp'd, it will yield a white Fume. And sometimes it may be so drawn, that tho' the Fumes are white, yet the Liquor will dye the Fingers black.
