Encyclop. Brit.Art. Excrement
Homburg is the only one who has
particularly analysed and examined
human ordure; and this
was done to satisfy a alchemical
project of one of his Friends, who
pretended that from this matter
a white oil could be obtained
without smell, and capable of
fixing Mercury into Silver. The
oil was found by Homburg but
mercury was not fixed by it.

This same matter yielded to
Homburg, who buatedit by a
complete fermentation or putrefaction
excited by a digestion
during 40 Days in a gentle
water bath heat and who afterwards
distilled it an oil without
colour and without bad smell
and such as he endeavoured to
find but which did not as we
sai before, fix Mercury in Silver

Could the Windmill

the wind failed.

The WindMill combined

The Graduated - Temperature House might serve for experiments in the preservation of feeds in agravity state The seeds being kept in air of the ordinary density - in rarified or exhausted air - and in condensed air. The ground keeps seeds ina porous state - why?- by uniformity of temperature and the absence of the quantity of air necessary for germinating. Encycl. Brit. tit. Gadus Fisherman are well acquainted with the use of the Air bladder or SOund of the Cod; and are very dextrous in perforating this part of the live fish with a needle, in order to disengage the inclosed air: for without this operation it could not be kept under water in the Well-boats and brought fresh to market.... The glutinous parts about the head lose their delicate flavour after it has been 24 hour ???? out of the water even in winter, in which these and other fish of this genus are in highest season.

Immersion in water
appears to be a preservative
against alchiness:
probably because
atmospheric
air is necessary to
that species of vegetation-.
Extract from Encyclop.
Britannica article
Flowering of Bulbous
Roots Plants

Sometimes the roots
will become mouldy in
several parts while
they stand above the Water, and
the cleaning of them is to no purpose
for it will eat and spread the further,
and frequently eat through
two or three of their Coats. In
this Case they must immediately
be covered with Water: when the
mould will be stopped, and
the roots become sound, and
flower as well as those which
never had any such distemper.
If the roots are suffered
to remain in Water all the
year, they will not decay; but
will flower again at their proper
season, and that as vigorously
as those which have been
taken out and dried.

To preserve Currant
or Gooseberries ripe
instead of water fill
up the vessel with
expressed juice of the
same.

So Cherries or Raspberries
with Currant
juice boiled & clarified

So with Hartshorn
Jelly using fruit juice
instead of water - and
being put into a conical
pot, the mixture may
be drawn out entire
as out of a mould.

Even Strawberries &
Mulberries might
perhaps be thus preserved.

If necessary, extract
the Air previously by
an Air Pump.
