We took alſo ſome Spirit of Urine,
careleſly enough deflegmed, and put it in
to the ſame Glaſs (firſt carefully ſcowr'd

olive above mention'd: We took alſo an
other Glaſs, differing from a Glaſs Egge,
onely in that its bottom was ſlat, and fill'd
it up to about 2/3 of the Neck (which was
wider then that of the Egge) with rectifi
ed Spirit of Wine.
