    liar fpirit and virtues depend ; and I think myfelf fortunate in having hit upon a very eafy method of communicating this air (and in a much larger proportion than mineral waters contain it) to any kind of water, or, indeed, to aim oft any fluid fub- ftance. In fhort, by this method this great antifeptic principle may be admini- ftered in a variety of agreeable vehicles. If this difcovery (though it doth not do ferve that name) be of any ufe to my coun¬ trymen, and to mankind at large, I fhall have my reward. For this purpofe I have made the communication as early as I con¬ venient! y could, fince the la left improve¬ ments that 1 have made in the procefs; and I cannot help expreffing my wifhes, that all perfons, who difcover any thing that pro- mifes to be generally ufeful, would adopt the fame method. * DIRECTIONS
