for, in the &ft experiment nude by Dr. Speingffidd,

a raksho of two ounces and a half was, in da
manner, Rune Mealy.* in fin days. Freen thin ex-
periment,. compered with dot of De. Springskikl
mentiosed above (B), it will be found. *pen calm-
Irstim.:,thak the diliolving power of the Carlfbatt
water, Om it is allowed to flow militantly front
tiro fountain along the (tone, is neatly 39 times
greater than when it is only poured Frei', on the sal-
ad.., once n day. *. What may have been die ma-
fon of this furprifing difference of tbe lithanniptic
power of the Carlfbad water in there different air-
cumflamms, I will not pretend is fay. I think it
can fcarcely be accounted for from du geode motiou

in a+ dayr, a piece of micalio, weighing 3o grains,
to 15 grains. And in an experiment made by Dr.
Newcome, now Lord Bilhop of Llindaff, who
drank four Englifb pints of oyfterfhell lime-water
