Having slaked the Lime with
an ounce and a half of the
water, introduce it into a
well-stopped bottle, contain-
ing the remainder of the
water, and shake well for the
space of 5 minutes. After
12 hours the excess of Lime
will have subsided, and the
clear Lime-water may be
drawn off with a syphon as
it may be required. When
the entire of the solution has
been withdrawn, it may be
renewed by shaking the sedi-
ment at me bottom of the
bottle with another | gallon
of water ; and if the Lime be
pure, and the bottle be ac-
curately stopped, this pro-
cess may be successfully re-
peated 3 or 4 times.
Water, when eo/d, dissolves Lime best ; hence at 32** a pint will dissolve 13*25 grains.
