After this, I distill the sour water very gently out of the B. M. Bain-Marie. I rectificir purify through repeated distillation the tincture blood in spiritu vini spirit of wine or alcohol until it becomes lovely, with a noble scent, sweet, medicinal, and potabilisch drinkable. Let this much be said about the most certain preparation of the joined tincture spirits of Martis Mars or iron and Veneris Venus or copper, of which mention is made in the fifth chapter on page 78.

First, one should calcine the very best Hungarian Vitriol until it is red. Take one pound of this vitriol, rubbed on a painter's stone, and moisten it with aqua attractiva attractive water, a specific solvent. Keep rubbing it until one pound of the aqua attractiva has been mixed into it. Let this red liquorem liquid stand in a glass in the B. M. for several days. In this way, the water opens and dissolves the tincture and makes it volatile.
