One very remarkable virtue of this water is, that it greatly relieves in all disorders of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, whether occasioned by stone, gravel, or ulcerations.

SPACE is defined by Mr Locke to be a simple idea which we attain both by our sight and touch; the modes whereof are distance, capacity, extension, duration, &c. See METAPHYSICS.
