P. 10. How to get the Quintessence of Antimony. I can make nothing of
this part, and can only suggest that the vinegar used contained

sulphide of antimony) gave a distillate of Chloride of Antimony
containing some ‘kermes’ which is red.

From this point onward there is little or nothing that can be explained
by a Chemist.
