EXPERIMENT XII.

Equal Parts of Antimony and Sal-Armoniack being sublimed with several degrees of Heat in a Glass-Vessel, we obtained three several sub∣stances; which being severally powdered; the Caput Mortuum which was like Antimony, be∣ing put into Water in which a Thermoscope was immersed, scarce raised the Liquor sensi∣bly: But the yellow sublimate which consist∣ed of the Sulphureous flowers of Antimony and the more Volatil Salts of the Sal-Armoniack, caused the Weather-Glass in another parcel of Water to descend a quarter of an Inch, and the lower sublimate which was black, being put into a third parcel of Water the Liquor in the Weather-Glass subsided near three Inches. But the like Experiments being tryed with the Ca∣put Mortuum of Minium and Sal-Armoniack, it neither caused the Liquor in the Weather-Glass to rise or fall; but the sublimate raised from these ingredients, caused the Liquor to subside a little.
