Tartar.

THE liquor of Tartar and its Succus is thus separated: The Tartar is washed severall times in common warm water, lea∣ving no impure dregs in it, at last it must be washed in warm Wine; it must be dryed at the Sun, and reduced to a powder, put it in a glasse, lute it and distill in open fire; the junctures of the glasses must be well guar∣ded, and the receiver must be very large. The first liquor that comes, is stinking, which is rectified in a cellar in wet sand, and the succus is rectified with distill'd Vineger in a retort in opē fire. Then draw it with the the Acetum, the drops come either red or citrin, according as the Tartar was, which in a funible must be separated, and thus the Acetum receiveth the Empyreuma into the oyle, and the oyl succeedeth in a golden colour without any stink.
