Mineral Analysing Liquor of Hoffman. This is a composition of highly rectified spirit of wine, vitriolic ether, and a little of the dulcified oil of vitriol. It is made by mixing an ounce of the spirit of wine, which rises first in the distillation of ether, with as much of the liquor which is to be distilled, and afterwards by dissolving in the mixture which rises next, and which contains the ether, 12 drops of the oil which rises after the ether has passed. This has the same virtues with the ether, and is now generally diffused, the pure ether being substituted in its place.
