this manner. An ounce or two of this water of elderberries is a very excellent sudorific, and is very good in all diseases that require sweat, as also in hydropical diseases. WATER OUT OF ROTTEN APPLES IS MADE THUS Take as many rotten apples as you please. Bruise and distill them either in a common cold still or gourd glasses in Balneum. This water is of greater use in fevers and hot distempers than the common distilled waters of any cold vegetables. It is very good in any hot distemper of the veins and sharpness of the urine . It is very good in the inflammations of the eyes. HOW TO MAKE AQUA VITAE AND SPIRIT OF WINE OUT OF WINE Take of what wine you please. Put it into a copper still, two parts of three being empty. Distill it with a worm until no more spirit comes off. Then this spirit will serve for the making of any spirits out of vegetables, but if you would have it stronger, distill it again and half will remain behind as an insipid phlegm. And if you would have it yet stronger, distill it again, for every distillation will leave behind one moity of phlegm or thereabouts. So shall you have a most pure and strong spirit of wine. 24
A. Shows the bottom which ought to be of copper. B. The head. C. The barrel filled with cold water to refrigerate and condense the water and oil that run through the pipe or worm that is put through it. D. A pipe of brass or pewter, or rather a worm of tin running through the barrel. E. The alembic set in the furnace with the fire under it. HOW TO MAKE AQUA VITAE OUT OF BEER Take the stale strong beer or rather the grounds thereof and put it into a copper still with a worm. Distill it gently (or otherwise it will make the head of the still fly up) and there will come forth a weak spirit, which is called low wine, of which when you have a good quantity you may distill it again of itself, and there will come forth a good aqua vitae. And if you distill it two or three times more, you shall have as strong a spirit as out of wine and, indeed, between which and the spirit of wine you shall perceive none or very little difference. HOW TO RECTIFY SPIRIT OF WINE OR AQUA VITAE Distill it in Balneum until the last drop that comes off be hot and full of spirit . Note that every time there will remain in the bottom a quantity as weak as water . Note also that every time you distill it, when you perceive that a very weak water comes over, you shall then end that distillation. 25
