Of a degradation of gold made by an anti-elixir : a strange chymical narrative

Quote of the Day

“About Quick-Silver Merucy - Fools who deform its kind from its Metallick disposition or dissolution, and by dissolving its radical moisture, corrupt it, and disproportion Quick-silver from its first Mineral quality, which needs nothing but purity and simple de∣coction. For example, they who defile it with Salts, Vitriols, and aluminous things, destroy it, and change it into some other thing, than is the nature of Quick-silver:”
